ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a system of irradiating food products in product-containing canisters. The canisters are adapted to retain a plurality of cartons of food product. The canisters are initially positioned on the trailer bed of a truck or similar vehicle and are taken to an unloading station. The canisters are preferably unloaded in pairs from the station and are conducted underground to an irradiator building. The irradiator building includes elevators for lifting the canisters into an irradiation path where the canisters are conducted past a plurality of radiation source plaques. The canisters can then lowered by a second elevator within the irradiator to a position underground, where they are conducted by a third conveyor to a loading station. The irradiated canisters are then loaded onto a truck bed and taken to their ultimate destination.
