TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied Energetics,
Inc., (NASDAQ: AERG) announced today that its advanced technology
electron beam accelerator is now available for customer
demonstrations in the new Applications Center in Tucson. The Applications Center contains the
Company's Nested High Voltage Generator (NHVG) accelerator system
and a Visitor's Center. The facility is designed to provide
customers access to the Company's products and to enable
demonstration of the new system for processing of materials, and
other customer applications. The Applications Center provides
a unique range of capabilities facilitated by leading NHVG electron
beam system with a wide range of applications. Customers are
encouraged to see the industry's most compact design and verify the
benefits of e-beam irradiation for their material processes by
working together with Applied Energetics' experts.
The NHVG is a very compact, inexpensive accelerator that can be
utilized for in-line processing as a complete solution with minimal
impact on existing industrial processing facilities. The
system can be configured to include the accelerator, scanning
system, and material-handling equipment as required by a customer's
unique requirements. Electron beam applications include
cross-linking of plastics and polymers, curing of composites and
adhesives, sterilization of disposable medical supplies and
food/drink packaging, treatment of air and water-borne pollution,
X-Ray inspection of cargo and vehicles, verification of material
integrity quality, electron beam research, and ion accelerator
implantation for semiconductors.
Joseph Hayden, President of AE,
commented, "This new Applications Center demonstrates Applied
Energetics' commitment to our customers' most challenging
production and processing requirements. This capability is a
result of our strategic initiative to transition the leading-edge
technologies we have developed for our government customers into
industrial systems that can provide new capabilities to commercial
manufacturers. Electron beam processing offers significant
processing advantages over other technologies, but has not been
widely adopted due to the size and cost of more traditional
electron beam systems. We believe these barriers have been
addressed by our compact, solid state NHVG architecture.
Industrial customers now have the opportunity to utilize our
NHVG electron beam accelerator in our Applications Center on their
own applications and materials to better understand the
capabilities and value that this new system can bring to their
manufacturing processes."

ion beam accelerators and reserve the Electron Beam Applications
