TECHNIQUE FOR INTERIOR ELECTRON STERILIZATION OF AN OPEN MOUTHED CONTAINER

摘要

Commercial sterilization of the interior surfaces of containers, cups or bottles by the use of energetic electrons is accomplished by directing electrons of moderate energies through the open mouth of such containers. Electrons which would normally illuminate the container beyond the inner diameter of the neck opening may be absorbed by a suitable electron-absorbing and cooled mask positioned above the container neck.
