Definitions
- the present invention relates to an installation for treating articles by radiation and more particularly by electron bombardment.
- This electronic bombardment is carried out in an armored enclosure designed to confine the X-rays in an area from which the operators are excluded.
- an electronic bombardment container treatment installation comprises a frame on which are mounted to pivot an input star and an output star arranged respectively facing an input and an output of an armored enclosure. in which are mounted a pivoting treatment star and one or more electron emitters in the vicinity of the treatment star.
- the stars are provided with means for gripping the containers so that the containers pass from one star to another from the entrance to the exit.
- baffle arrangement it is meant that the internal partitions are arranged to prohibit a direct X-ray path from the transmitter to the input and to the output.
- the X-rays emitted by the transmitter to the receptacles bounce against the walls of the shielded enclosure and the internal shielded partitions a sufficient number of times to have lost most of their energy before reaching the entrance and the output of the shielded enclosure.
- An object of the invention is to provide a means for protecting the operators involved in the vicinity of radiation article processing installation while limiting the size of the installation.
- a device for treating articles by electron beam irradiation comprising a frame on which are mounted to pivot an input star and an output star arranged respectively facing a input and an output of a shielded enclosure in which are mounted at least one pivoting treatment star and at least one electron emitter in the vicinity of the treatment star, the stars being provided with means for gripping the articles, the shielded enclosure having shielded internal partitions arranged in baffles.
- the installation comprises at least one linear conveyor extending in the shielded enclosure respectively opposite the inlet or the outlet, the linear conveyor comprising a conveyor extending in an elongated ring around a shielded wall extending in a longitudinal direction of the conveyor to form a baffle.
- the shielded wall of the linear conveyor forms a barrier to radiation without increasing the longitudinal size of the installation.
- To reinforce the radiation barrier simply extend the shielded wall, which can be done without increasing the distance between the entrance and exit of the installation.
- the use of linear conveyors also allows greater flexibility in the arrangement of the facility facilitating its implementation in a production line.
- the installation comprises an input linear conveyor and a linear output conveyor extending in the shielded enclosure respectively facing the inlet and the outlet, the linear conveyors comprising a conveyor surrounding a shielded wall. extending in a longitudinal direction of the conveyor to form a baffle at the inlet and the outlet respectively.
- the treatment plant according to the invention is here arranged for the sterilization of containers by subjecting them to electron bombardment.
- the installation of the invention is intended to take place in a production line, for example downstream of a blowing station of the containers and upstream of a filling station of said containers.
- the installation comprises a frame 1 on which are mounted to pivot an inlet star 2 and an outlet star 3 each provided with means for gripping containers such as grippers gripping the containers through the neck.
- Such stars are known in themselves and will not be more detailed here.
- the input 2 and output 3 stars are arranged respectively facing an input 4 and an output 5 of a shielded enclosure 6 in which is mounted to pivot a star or processing platform 7.
- the star of treatment 7 is provided with means for gripping the containers, such as clamps for gripping the containers by the neck, and transmitters mounted opposite the grippers.
- the clamps and transmitters are mounted on the star to be movable relative to each other in a vertical direction to allow the introduction of each transmitter into the container supported by the clamp opposite.
- a fixed emitter 8 is also mounted in the shielded enclosure 6 in the vicinity of the periphery of the treatment star 7 to emit an electron beam towards the containers that run past the stationary transmitter 8 during the rotation of the treatment star 7.
- a linear input conveyor 9 and a linear output conveyor 10 extend into the shielded enclosure 6 respectively opposite the inlet 4 and the outlet 5 so as to tangentially respectively the input star 2 and the output star 3.
- the linear input conveyor 9 comprises a conveyor 11 extending in an elongated ring around a shielded wall 12 substantially facing the inlet 4.
- the linear output conveyor 10 comprises a conveyor 13 extending in an elongated ring around a shielded wall 14 substantially facing the outlet 5.
- the conveyors 11, 13 are provided with means for supporting the containers which are known per se and make it possible to transfer the containers from the input star 2 to the linear input conveyor 9 and the linear output conveyor 10 to the output star 3.
- the shielded wall 12, 14 has a length (measured parallel to the large dimension of the linear conveyor considered) greater than the width (measured parallel to the large dimension of the linear conveyor considered) of the inlet 4 and the outlet 5 respectively.
- the shielded walls 12, 14 thus form a baffle respectively at the inlet 4 and at the outlet 5 of the shielded enclosure 6.
- Intermediate stars 15, 16 are mounted in the shielded enclosure 6 to rotate.
- the intermediate star 15 is mounted between the treatment star 7 and the linear input conveyor 9 to tangent them.
- Intermediate stars 15, 16, known in themselves, are provided with means for gripping containers, such as grippers gripping containers through the neck.
- a stationary transmitter 8 is also mounted in the vicinity of the periphery of the intermediate star 15.
- each linear conveyor 9, 10 with surrounding stars are on the long sides of the conveyor 11, 13 in such a way that the lengths of the conveyor extending on either side of the points of tangency are identical to each other. Alternatively, these lengths may be different.
- the shielded enclosure 6 comprises shielded internal partitions 17 arranged in baffles.
- the internal partitions 17 extend from the walls of the shielded enclosure 6 so that the stars and the linear conveyors are separated from each other by internal partitions 17 except in the zone of tangency where the internal partitions leave passage openings whose dimensions are just sufficient to allow respectively the passage of the containers of the linear input conveyor 9 to the intermediate star 15, the intermediate star 15 to the treatment star 7, the processing star 7 at the intermediate star 16, from the intermediate star 16 to the linear output conveyor 10.
- Shielded means that the wall or partition is sealed to electrons and X-rays.
- the shielded wall or partition thus comprises a layer of lead covered with a sheet of stainless steel.
- the installation may not include an intermediate star, the linear conveyors coming to tangent the treatment star.
- the installation may include a different number of intermediate stars or processing stars.
- the installation may include onboard transmitters on the processing star and several fixed transmitters, only one or more fixed transmitters, or transmitters only on the processing star.
- the stars may have a different structure from that described in particular with regard to the gripping of the containers.
- the invention can be applied to articles other than containers and / or other types of radiation.
