Sentinel 5000 Multiscan Metal Detector
The Sentinel 5000 model is the first multiscan metal detection platform to scan a combination of up to five user-selectable frequencies to find all random sizes, shapes and types of metal foreign objects. Sentinel 5000 identifies contaminants that are up to 50% smaller in volume than the Thermo Scientific™ APEX 500 metal detector, and has the same dimensions and conveyor mounting for easy upgrade. The Sentinel 5000 can be used in a metal detection-checkweighing combination system, but due to its size must be mounted on a standalone infeed conveyor.
Sentinel 3000 Multiscan Metal Detector
Choose the more compact Sentinel 3000 model for metal detection-checkweighing combination systems. Sentinel 3000 can be integrated into Thermo Scientificâ„¢ VersaWeighâ„¢ and Versa GP checkweigher, reducing the total footprint while combining important functions like program changes, alarms and rejection statistics. Sentinel 3000 detects contaminants up to 35% smaller in volume than the Thermo Scientificâ„¢ APEX 300.
Both offer the following features to achieve the highest level of food safety:
- Frequency Range 50 to 1000 kHz, multiscan runs up to five frequencies
- Easy-to-use touchscreen with new Autolearn function to quickly optimize set-up
- Detailed graphical displays for phase, rejects, quality test, and detection thresholds to enable easy fine tuning and troubleshooting
- IP69K for severe washdown and dust, eliminating repair costs
- All electronics are integral, so mounting is easy and flexible
- All balance functions are implemented in software, so no need for manual, hardware rebalance in the field
- Wide ambient temperature range assuring reliability
- Fe, non-Fe and 316 SS test pieces included to fit specific application
- In combos the user interface is available on the metal detector AND the checkweigher screens
