Advanced Electron Beams (AEB) enables the green factory of the future by making sustainable manufacturing possible and profitable. AEB's compact electron beam emitters replace thermal and chemical processes for cleaner, more efficient, lower-cost manufacturing. For industries such as pharmaceutical, medical devices, food and beverage, printing, and plastics manufacturing, AEB emitters sterilize products and packaging, improve the performance of plastics and other materials, cure inks and coatings and eliminate pollution. While electron beams have been used in some industrial niche applications to replace chemical and thermal processes, adoption has been limited due to high equipment and operating costs, complex implementation, and huge size of conventional electron beam technologies. By contrast, the AEB Emitter delivers energy efficiently in a format that is significantly less expensive and more compact in size. Conceived and developed by company founder Tovi Avnery, the AEB Emitter changes the dynamics of electron beam applications, enabling customers to use this clean energy source across a wide range of industrial applications where usage has never before been technically or economically feasible. Its vision is to enable the green factory of the future by making electron beams a pervasive industrial energy solution that reduces chemical pollution, decreases energy consumption, improves productivity and enables the development of new products. Led by an experienced team and supported by top investors, it strives to advance this vision by leading electron beam product innovations that are economical and simple to implement and maintain while delivering the high performance and reliability needed to make electron beams a ubiquitous energy solution.
