A system for continuously processing PTFE by irradiation and grinding includes a processing vessel having first and second horizontally adjacent agitators in first and second transversely adjacent vessel portions. The bottom of the vessel has a step between the portions whereat heated air is injected for agitating and grinding the PTFE.

Continuous process for irradiating of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

Continuous process for irradiating of polytetrafluorineethylene (PTFE)

A method and apparatus for radiation degradation processing of polytetrafluoroethylene makes use of a simultaneous irradiation, agitation and cooling. The apparatus is designed to make efficient use of radiation in the processing.

Apparatus and method for radiation processing of materials

An apparatus and system is provided for utilizing an electron beam machine to selectively and alternatively irradiate materials with electrons of X-rays; the conversion between electron radiation and X-radiation being achieved by interposing a plate of low Z material such as aluminum between the beam and the material to be irradiated, the plate having its surface facing the electron beam covered with an X-ray generating or high Z material. The plate serves as a mechanical support for the high Z material, an electron capture body and to some extent as a heat sink. Materials to be irradiated are disposed in a cart and are conveyed under the beam with the plate being interposed whenever a material to receive X-rays passes thereunder; the carts being employed to readily permit multiple passes of the material to be treated with X-rays under the beam whereby heat build up in the X-ray generating target placed over each cart may be maintained at acceptable levels. The material may also be conveyed under the beam in open top containers disposed on an endless or circular conveyor.
