Linear accelerator LINAC 4-1200

 

High frequency linear accelerator is a source of fast electrons of 3 - 5 MeV energie. The common 50 kV impulse voltage supply feeds the electron gun (producing the input electron beam of the accelerator) as well as the magnetron generating hf energy in 10 cm band.

The basic assembly contains four main units: accelerator, modulator, supplies and a controle unit. The accelerator includes a broad output camera with a sweep circuit for the homogenous dose distribution, which enables the uniform ratio of the irradiation of materials in width up to 500 mm.

LINAC 4-1200 is suitable for various radiation technologies, for example for the sterilisation of sanitary and pharmaceutical goods, desinsection of agricultural products, irradiation crosslinking of thermoplastic polymers. A very useful application takes place in the irradiation chemistry, ekology and semiconductor production.

The value of the voltage ensures, that no secondary radioactivity can arise at any applied technology.

The whole equipment requires only two rooms: the irradiotion and the control room with walls protected against the X-ray radiation.
