This series of large-scale gamma irradiation facilities is specifically developed by our company for irradiating containerized palletized goods. It combines heavy-duty overhead conveying with hydraulically driven source-passing mechanisms to achieve dense arrangement of the source-passing mechanisms and automatic side-changing of the irradiation product carriers. It enables multi-path, multi-station irradiation, such as four-path or outer two-path fully automatic operation modes. Products unloaded from containers on pallets can be directly loaded into the hangers for irradiation, for example, irradiation of frozen seafood products.

2. Facility Advantages

• High energy utilization efficiency
• Flexible operation modes, high load capacity, enabling whole pallet irradiation from containers
• Wide irradiation dose range, capable of meeting different dose requirements
• Simple equipment structure, easy maintenance, low failure rate
• Low construction cost and low maintenance cost

3. Technical Features

• Source Rack: Utilizes a plate source rack for bare source loading, offering large capacity and high energy utilization efficiency.
• Conveying System: Capable of dense, multi-path, multi-station operation. The irradiation facility can achieve automatic layer changing, side changing, or multi-loop operation.
• Barcode System: Uses a barcode system to monitor and manage irradiated products, ensuring traceability.
• Control System: Employs Siemens Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and WinCC data acquisition and management software.
• Safety Interlock System: Designed with comprehensive multiple, multi-level safety interlock measures, fully complying with Chinese national standards and IAEA safety requirements.
