A devices () and method for pasteurizing and/or sterilizing particulate material. The device contain at least one electron source () for generating an electron beam and a treatment zone () in which the material is pasteurized and/or sterilized by the electron beam. The device () comprises a vibration surface () which vibrates to convey and individualize the material. The first vibration surface () has a plurality of grooves () into which the material is conveyed and individualized. The device () has a material channel () in which the material is pasteurized and/or sterilized by the electron beam in the region of the treatment zone (). The device () has at least one auxiliary channel () through which a fluid flows, between the electron source () and the material channel (), and is separated from the material channel (). A cartridge () for pasteurizing and/or sterilizing particulate material is also disclosed.

The device () comprises a vibration surface () which vibrates to convey and individualize the material. The first vibration surface () has a plurality of grooves () into which the material is conveyed and individualized. The device () has a good channel () in which the material is pasteurized and/or sterilized by the electron beam in the region of the treatment zone (). The device () has at least one auxiliary channel () through which a fluid flows between the electron source () and the good channel () and is separated from the good channel (). A cartridge (), for pasteurizing and/or sterilizing particulate material, is also disclosed.
