Electron Beam equipment in coating lines

by Werner Karmann, Beiersdorf AG - RadTech Europe Conference 1989

Various types of electron accelerators have been developed for coating purposes. Although they have many common characteristics, there are significant differences of technical origin, especially in the performance range limits. The actual performance requirements are determined by the application.

We will report on our experience with three different E-beam systems which have been in operation over several years in our coating lines.
