Apparatus for electronic treatment of granules, specially seeds

摘要

Equipment for the treatment of particulate material, pref. grain, by electronic irradiation which is applied to the grain as it falls freely through a process chamber, at ambient conditions, onto a conveyor belt. At least one broad band emitter (2) provides the radiation through a window (4) at a breadth greater than the grain flow. A ventilator system cools the window and also prevents ingress of dust. Provision is made to prevent emission of X-rays.
