Packaging

Yes. E-Beam can significantly reduce mold and mildew by delivering a controlled microbial reduction dose to contaminated packaging or finished goods. The process does not use heat or moisture, so cartons, films, pouches, and rigid containers maintain their structure and appearance. Effectiveness depends on species, starting load, and how deeply the mold is embedded. Surface level or low level contamination responds very well. If the packaging or product is visibly damaged by moisture or heavy mold growth, E-Beam can reduce the microbial load but cannot reverse cosmetic or structural damage. A quick feasibility dose test confirms the reduction achievable for your specific packaging material.

Yes. Many packaging suppliers use E-Beam to sterilize empty components before filling or assembly. Low and medium density materials such as PET preforms, closures, films, liners, and trays process well. Dose mapping confirms penetration through cases of nested or stacked components.

Most common packaging materials maintain seal integrity, oxygen and moisture barrier performance, and optical clarity at microbial reduction or sterilization doses. Multi layer films vary based on resin blend and tie layers. A max dose study quickly verifies stability under your required conditions.

Yes, as long as items share similar density, thickness, and dose requirements. For example, a mix of closures and preforms may be compatible, while heavy trays and thin films should be separated to achieve the required dose uniformity ratio. Dose mapping identifies whether a mixed load is feasible.

Uniform wall thickness, simpler nesting, and consistent density help achieve even dose distribution. Avoiding deep cavities, highly shielded areas, or tightly nested stacks reduces dose variability and helps result in lower-DUR (and thus more economical and flexible) E-Beam processing.
