Ve r i t a s Radiation Pro t e c t i ve B i - Pa rting Proton Doors

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Veritas has introduced the world's first Bi-Parting Door System for Proton Facilities, marking a significant advancement in radiation shielding technology. These doors, installed in Knoxville, TN, offer enhanced safety and performance in photon and neutron attenuation.

Key Features

Direct Entry Design: The doors eliminate the need for entry mazes, saving space and reducing costs. This allows for simpler and more cost-effective treatment room designs.
VeriShieldTM Technology: Utilizes proprietary materials to guarantee 100% photon and neutron attenuation.
Unique Mechanical Design: Features a linear drive system for smooth operation and fast open/close speeds, eliminating partial open sequences.
Safety and Reliability: Includes redundant safety systems and a Smart DoorTM Touchscreen HMI for easy operation.

Specifications

Each door panel weighs over 60,000 lbs. (27,216 kg), is 45" (114 cm) thick, and over 7' (213 cm) tall.
Operated by an innovative electro-magnetic drive system with sine-wave shaped leading edges to prevent radiation streaming.

Installation and Impact
The Provision Center for Proton Therapy in Tennessee, a 90,000-square-foot facility, is the first to feature these bi-parting doors. This installation aligns with the center's mission to provide advanced cancer treatment technologies.

Conclusion
The Veritas Bi-Parting Door System represents a breakthrough in radiation shielding, offering unmatched protection, convenience, and affordability through its innovative design and VeriShieldTM technology.
