An industrial linear accelerator (linac) is a device that employs electromagnetic waves to accelerate charged particles, such as electrons, to high velocities in a straight line. This acceleration imparts significant energy to the particles, making industrial linacs valuable for applications requiring high-energy beams. They are used for inspecting products, enhancing material properties, and sterilizing medical equipment and packaging.

The primary technologies in industrial linear accelerators include electron beam accelerators, photon beam accelerators, pulsed linear accelerators, and continuous wave linear accelerators. An electron beam accelerator produces high-energy electron beams for industrial applications. These accelerators come in various energy ranges, such as 2 mega electron volts (MeV) - 4 MeV, 5 MeV - 7 MeV, 8 MeV - 10 MeV, and 10 MeV - 12 MeV, among others. Their applications encompass industrial radiography, cargo screening, radiation processing, polymer modification, sterilization, food preservation, and waste treatment. They are utilized by diverse industries, including automotive, metal casting, aerospace, defense, food processing, and medical waste disposal.
