Abstract
A device(s) and method for pasteurizing and/or sterilizing particulate material using an electron beam. The device () includes at least one electron source () for generating an electron beam, a treatment zone () in which the material, particularly a freely falling material, can be pasteurized and/or sterilized by the electron beam, and a material channel () arranged in the region of the treatment zone () in which the material can be pasteurized and/or sterilized by the electron beam. A planar protective element (), which is at least partially permeable by the electron beam, is arranged between the electron source () and the material channel (). The device () includes a holding frame () which holds the protective element () and which has a cavity () through which a cooling fluid can flow.
