- placing and arranging the products onto two different levels of products, so that a first set of products is placed on an upper level and a second set of products is placed on a lower level;
- irradiating both sets of products during a first period of time;
- submitting the products arranged on said two levels to a switch or transposition, so that the set of products arranged on an upper level is arranged on the lower level and vice-versa;
- irradiating during a second period of time the new arrangement formed of the two transposed sets of products.
