IMEFY has supplied three 1,000 kVA – 20 kV / 420 V epoxy resin-encapsulated transformers, through the company Cobra, for the new Proton Therapy Center of the Valencian Community, located next to the La Fe University and Polytechnic Hospital in Valencia.
This equipment is part of a project promoted by the Regional Ministry of Health, which has awarded the contract for the work at a cost of €21.5 million, and will receive a donation from the Amancio Ortega Foundation, which is allocating a further €25 million for the provision of proton therapy equipment.
A breakthrough in cancer treatment
Proton therapy is one of the most advanced techniques in cancer treatment. It is a highly precise form of external radiation therapy that concentrates the dose on the tumor and minimizes radiation exposure to healthy tissue.
It is particularly suitable for pediatric patients and for treating tumors that are difficult to access, such as brain, head and neck, spinal cord, lung, eye, or sarcoma tumors.
Commitment to healthcare innovation
The construction of the center, which will occupy 5,500 m², includes a reinforced concrete bunker with walls 2.5 meters thick to ensure maximum safety and radiation containment. In addition, the building will feature a central green courtyard and spaces designed to promote the emotional well-being of patients and professionals.
According to forecasts, construction and equipment installation will be completed by the end of May 2027, and after a calibration period, the center could treat its first patient in the summer of that same year.
IMEFY’s contribution
With this supply, IMEFY reinforces its role as a leader in electrical transformation solutions applied to projects with high technical demands and social relevance. Our commitment to innovation and sustainability is present in each of the projects that contribute to improving people’s lives.
