Cost Crosslinking & Polymer Modification Processing Capabilities Wire, Cable, & Tubing How can I lower the cost per foot when processing reel-to-reel products? December 11, 2014 / September 23, 2025 by ebeam Part 1: Why more material on a reel will result in a lower cost Sometimes more is better. More vacation days, more good weather, and, in my personal opinion, you can’t go wrong with more bacon cheesefries. The same principal also applies to the amount of material on a reel sent to us for e-beam […] Read more »
Processing Capabilities Sterilization Processing Capabilities Do I have to build a certain pallet load for the e-beam process? November 18, 2014 / October 15, 2025 by ebeam The quick answer is NO!Unlike other sterilization methods, such as EtO and gamma, the e-beam process unloads pallets and places cases of product onto conveyer carts in a single layer.

Crosslinking & Polymer Modification Processing Capabilities Sterilization Sterilization Processing Capabilities What kind of delivery or turnaround can I expect from E-BEAM Services? June 20, 2014 / October 9, 2025 by ebeam What you can expect from E-BEAM Services is better than 98% on time delivery. This is measured against our commitments to our customers, tracked and documented each month with a rolling twelve month tabulation. Read more »
Crosslinking & Polymer Modification Processing Capabilities Sterilization Sterilization Processing Capabilities How does an electron beam accelerator work? May 20, 2014 / July 31, 2020 by ebeam There are several different methods to accelerate electrons to form a beam. The accelerators used by E-BEAM Services are direct current, which provide a continuous versus a pulsed beam. As an example, our accelerators operate in the same way as a traditional cathode ray television set. Read more »
Processing Capabilities Product Validation Sterilization How do I know if my health care product is compatible with e-beam radiation? April 17, 2014 / August 24, 2020 by ebeam Often, the first step in the qualification process is to determine the compatibility of your product with e-beam radiation. Some materials can experience a change in their properties with e-beam, so it is important to ensure the stability of your material and packaging at the beginning of the qualification process. Some initial guidance can be […] Read more »
Processing Capabilities Sterilization Why do companies choose electron beam irradiation to sterilize their products? April 2, 2014 / August 24, 2020 by ebeam Electron beam radiation has been used for more than half a century to sterilize medical devices due to several key benefits, including: low cost, high reliability, turnaround time, safety, and relative ease of validation.

Crosslinking & Polymer Modification Processing Capabilities Sterilization Sterilization Processing Capabilities Important Parameters of an Electron Beam – energy (MeV), current (mA) and line speed. March 21, 2014 / September 5, 2025 by ebeam The key parameters to control an electron beam accelerator are the energy, current and line speed of the process. The accelerators used by E-BEAM Services are similar to the old cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions. However, instead of operating at about 25,000 volts, our industrial electron beams can operate at up to 5,000,000 volts. The […] Read more »
Crosslinking & Polymer Modification Processing Capabilities Sterilization Sterilization Processing Capabilities Can e-beam really penetrate my product – I mean, isn’t it just a surface treatment? March 14, 2014 / August 28, 2020 by ebeam I have been asked, or even been told, that e-beam is “only a surface treatment and can’t get through any more than a piece of paper.” Wrong. For decades, e-beam has been used to sterilize whole cases of medical devices, such as those in the picture below. Thousands of truckloads are contract-sterilized by e-beam each […] Read more »
