[Also in Division H5] In the irradiation of units of material such as food products, the units 32 are passed into the shielded chamber 22 from a roller conveyer 52 and around a slab-shaped source 26 on a predetermined path, being stopped for short periods of time at a number of stations for irradiation. The units 32 are each loaded into the chamber 22 by means of a loading breech slide 36, a unit being raised into the loading aperture 40 of the slide by an hydraulically operated pusher 48, on part 56 of the roller track. Unloading of the packages from the chamber on to the track 42 is by the same breech slide 36, the packages being carried out in a different aperture 38 adjacent to the other, 40. |
