ALUTRON Plant

Alurtron operated with 3 electron beam machines:

  • The EPS-3000 electron beam machine is provides fast irradiation processing with a high efficiency, high uniformity and good control.
  • The ELV 4 is a low voltage electron beam machine with the energy up till 1.0 MeV. It was installed to complement irradiation services provided by the EPS, specifically for products with low energy requirement. The ELV 4 is a transformer type, direct accelerator, while the EPS-3000 is of Cockroft-Walton type.
  • The Curetron on the other hand is specially used for R&D in surface curing and modification.

Our Research focus:  
Crosslinking wire and cable


 Product Irradiation services
At ALURTRON, we provide electron beam irradiation service to treat finished products. The facility is equipped with handling systems to treat tubal products such as tubes, wires and cable. Currently the facility is servicing commercial automotive wire and heat shrinkable tube manufactures to crosslink their products using electron beam. Electron beam could also be used for sterilization purposes. At commercial level, sago hydrogel based products such as facial mask, wound dressing and “cool-fever” patch are irradiated for simultaneous sterilization and cross linking.

Environmental and pollution control for waste water treatment

Advantages of electron beam Irradiation:

  • The finished products have better physical properties compared to those crosslinked by conventional chemical method.
  • E-beam crosslinking does not require any additives, nor does it generate hazardous chemical by-products. This method is energy efficient, and the minimal amount of exposure time
  • Throughput is higher with low operating costs.  
  • Electron beam treatment is an effective and environment-friendly approach of disinfecting drinking water, sewage, and sludge. Besides decolorize the water, EB process is also used to change non-biodegradable to biodegradable
  • Alurtron provides irradiation services for research and commercial product. Researchers are welcome to use our facility. .
