Abstract

The electron beam machine was installed in 1991 at Nuclear Malaysia Agency. There are about one million meters of wire and cable irradiated in the facility every year. Electron beam irradiation introduces to crosslink the polymer material for high-performance wire and cable for the automobile industry. ALURTRON is facing few challenges while of irradiating wire and cable to determine the speed and to comply with the product quality (QC) test. The uncertainty of Wire Under Beam Handling System (WUBHS) speeds while irradiating wire and cable due to different situations. In this study, Polyethylene (PE) and Polyvinylchloride (PVC) wire and cable irradiated with electron beam irradiation at suitable speed based on the material, size and calculation etc. The sample analyse with hot set and gel content test. The speed decided at range 220-232, 180-196 and 180-194 m/min for 6.4 mm tube, 9.5 mm tube and PVC wire respectively.
