Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a particle beam processing device that is smaller in size and operates at a higher efficiency, concerning a particle beam processing device including a particle beam generating assembly, a foil support assembly having a thin foil, and a processing zone causing a chemical reaction on a substrate or on a coating. SOLUTION: The processing device includes a particle beam generating assembly 110, a foil support assembly 140, and a processing assembly 170. In the particle beam generating assembly, a cloud of particles, for example, electrons, are generated by heating at least one tungsten filament. The electrons are then extracted to travel at a high speed to the foil support assembly which is set at a much lower voltage than the particle beam generating assembly. A substrate is fed to a particle beam processing device through a processing zone and is exposed to the electrons exiting from the particle beam generating assembly and entering the processing zone. The electrons penetrate and cure the substrate causing a chemical reaction. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a particle beam processing apparatus that is smaller in size and operates at a higher efficiency. The processing apparatus includes a particle beam generating assembly, a foil support assembly, and a processing assembly. In the particle beam generating assembly, a cloud of particles, for example, electrons, are generated by heating at least one tungsten filament. The electrons are then extracted to travel at a high speed to the foil support assembly which is set at a much lower voltage than the particle beam generating assembly. A substrate is fed to the processing apparatus through the processing zone and is exposed to the electrons exiting the particle beam generating assembly and entering the processing zone. The electrons penetrate and cure the substrate causing a chemical reaction, such as polymerization, cross-linking, or sterilization.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a particle beam processing apparatus that is smaller in size and operates at a higher efficiency, and also directed to an application of such apparatus to treat a coating on a substrate of a treatable material, such as for flexible packaging. The processing apparatus includes a particle beam generating assembly, a foil support assembly, and a processing assembly. In the particle beam generating assembly, electrons are generated and accelerated to pass through the foil support assembly. In the flexible packaging application, the substrate is fed to the processing apparatus operating at a low voltage, such as 110 kVolts or below, and is exposed to the accelerated electrons to treat the coating on the substrate.
Abstract:
A recyclable flexible package used for foods, non-foods, pharmaceuticals, and other products that would benefit from flexible packaging solutions is provided. The present invention also relates to the methods of forming recyclable flexible packaging using fewer production steps while using EB cured inks & EB laminates, among others.
