Abstract

PURPOSE:To control unevenness of irradiation by improving rolling conditions, by inserting a material of continuous length having high rigidity into a plastic tube in the treatment of said tube with electron beam while rolling said tube on a belt. CONSTITUTION:An endless belt 4 is crossed between a driving capstan 1 and a driven capstan 2, both capstans being oppositely arranged and spaced away from each other by a required distance in a horizontal direction. The numeral 3 represents corrugated grooves provided along their axes. Plastic tubes 5 such as flame-retardant PE tubes (into each of which a material of continuous length 6 having high rigidity, such as a round rod or a pipe is inserted) are placed on said crossed belt 4. and the capstan 1 is actuated. While making the tubes 5 revolve around their own axes in a peripheral direction with the movement of the belt 4, the tubes are irradiated with electron beam 8 from an irradiation device 7 provided just above the tubes to crosslink them.

In order to carry out the method described above, a pair of capstans are arranged horizontally facing each other, a belt is crossed between the capstans, and one of the capstans is driven to rotate the belt. A flame-retardant PE tube is placed on the belt, and as the belt moves, the flame-retardant tube is rotated and irradiated with an electron beam from an electron beam irradiation device placed directly above the belt. This method is generally adopted.

However, when applying electron beam irradiation to a non-resistance PE tube made of polyethylene mixed with a large amount of a flame retardant using such a device, the coefficient of friction on the tube surface becomes large due to the relationship between the ingredients and other factors. During irradiation, the tube rotates in the circumferential direction on the capsun, resulting in vr<<, resulting in uneven electron beam irradiation.
