Controlled lightning. From a machine you plug into the wall.
Electricity goes in. A beam of electrons comes out. Traveling near the speed of light. It catalyzes the same reactions that chemicals do, with the purity of electrons instead. In seconds. Turn it off, and nothing remains.
Think baggage scanner. On steroids.
A Pulse accelerator looks something like an airport baggage scanner. Products move through on a conveyor belt. As they pass through, a beam of high-energy electrons treats them. They come out the other side. Clean, sterile, safe. In seconds.
For liquids, water and oil are piped through instead of conveyed. Same beam. Same result. Same speed.
Medical devices pass through. Electrons shatter the DNA of bacteria and viruses on contact. Sterile.
Contaminated water flows through. Electrons break carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS, the strongest bonds in organic chemistry, reducing them to simple salts. Destroyed permanently.
Food passes through. Electrons render pests sterile so they cannot reproduce, and eliminate pathogens. Safe to ship.
Nothing is added to the product. No gas. No chemical residue. No radioactive material. The beam is made of electrons, particles already present in every atom of the product being treated.
Two modes. One machine.
Electron beam is the primary mode. Electrons hit the product directly. Over 90% of the electricity transfers as treatment energy. Ten times more efficient than the alternative.
X-ray mode is for deep penetration. A metal target converts the electron beam into X-rays that pass through entire pallets of stacked product.
The tradeoff: only 7-12% of the energy converts to X-rays. That's not a design flaw. It's physics. For products that need deep penetration, it's worth it. For everything else, e-beam is the better tool.
Most facilities use both. Pulse designs hybrid installations with dedicated lines for each mode. The right tool for each job, under one roof.
Not all accelerators are created equal.
Precision that competitors can’t match.
Dose Uniformity Ratio measures how evenly the beam treats a product. A perfect score is 1.0. The industry standard is 2.0 to 2.5. Gamma radiation achieves 1.6 to 1.7. Pulse achieves 1.1 to 1.3.
We paint with radiation.
Pulse’s beam delivery system varies dose intensity across the treatment zone with real-time precision. We don’t blast everything equally. We paint each product with exactly the dose profile it needs.
Fully digital RF control.
Over 20% more energy-efficient than analog systems. Faster tuning. More consistent output.
Every product measured. Every product recorded.
Dose isn’t sampled or estimated. It’s measured for every unit processed. A complete digital treatment record. For medical device manufacturers, this means same-day product release instead of days of batch-and-hold testing.

The first assembly line for linear accelerators.
Industrial electron beam accelerators have operated globally for decades. The science is proven. The machines work. There were just never enough of them.
For 30 years, every industrial linac was handmade. Custom-engineered. One at a time.
Pulse built the world's first factory for mass-producing industrial accelerators. 278,000 square feet. Marianna, Florida.
Pulse production capacity
100+ per year
Others combined
~27 per year
Pulse delivery
Months
Their delivery
18-24+ months
Everything included. One vendor. One call.
Pulse delivers turnkey installations. Accelerator, conveyance, cooling, controls, safety systems, dosimetry, facility integration, training. One contract. One warranty.
The other approach: buy the accelerator from one vendor, source your own chiller, your own compressed air, your own electrical infrastructure, hire your own certified riggers, manage your own licensing. Expect 10-30% in hidden integration costs.
Pulse handles all of it.
