Self shielded cyclotron bunker door
When operating a cyclotron in a medical or industrial setting, ensuring adequate radiation shielding is crucial. Preventing radiation leakage while maintaining accessibility and operational safety is a challenge that requires precise engineering solutions.
Pneumatic operation for effective shielding and ease of use
The SPI – Self Shielded Cyclotron Bunker Door by Comecer is designed to provide robust radiation protection while ensuring ease of operation. The door features a pneumatic operating system with an oil-pneumatic cylinder for smooth, consistent movement. It slides in line with the floor, maintaining a consistent distance of approximately 5 mm to optimize shielding effectiveness. Radiation sealing at the lower part is guaranteed by a specially designed shielding structure that acts as a labyrinth between the door and the floor. This design ensures minimal radiation leakage and enhances safety. The SPI door’s system is particularly suited for environments where quick, reliable shielding is essential, such as medical facilities with cyclotron installations.
