Patent ID: 7459706

Claim:
An installation for sterilising objects by low-energy electron bombardment on the external surface of said objects, said installation comprising: a treatment chamber for receiving an object to be subjected to a sterilisation; sterilisation means for sterilising said object with a low-energy electron beam generated by said sterilisation means along a first axis passing through said treatment chamber; a first mechanical module for generating, during the sterilisation of the object, a relative rotation movement between the object and said sterilisation means, about a second axis such that the first axis of said electron beam generated by said sterilisation means continuously passes through an external surface of the object during the relative rotation movement about said second axis; and a second mechanical module for generating, after the object located inside said treatment chamber is released from the first mechanical module, a rotation of the object about a third axis oriented orthogonally with respect to the second axis.
