Thermo Fisher Scientific: Thermal shock-resistant metal detector

Using a new case design and a proprietary aperture filling technique, Thermo Fisher Scientific’s APEX HD is a long-life, heavy-duty (HD) wash down metal detector that goes significantly beyond traditional IP69K ratings (the international standard for high pressure, high temperature wash down), and is able to withstand extreme temperature cycling typically experienced in fresh food processing and sanitation environments.
