Thermo Scientific: Upgraded metal detector

A cost-effective way to extend life and improve functionality for select Thermo Scientific metal detector platforms is now available via the APEX Upgrade; units based on the DSP3 architecture, currently installed in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities worldwide, now can be upgraded to APEX electronics and software in a few hours for less than the cost of a new metal detector.

On-site or factory installation of the APEX Upgrade by a Thermo Fisher Scientific field service professional can help processors meet new, more stringent quality standards with the ability to detect smaller diameter metal contaminants. In addition, the improved sensitivity reduces rework and scrap caused by occasional false rejects. Maintenance and training also can be simplified via a common user interface if the plant has both APEX and DSP3 platform metal detectors.

Intellitrack software features a signal processing approach that addresses the unique challenges of detecting smaller diameter metals in high salt, high moisture product environments. The new design simplifies installation and improves reliability. Food-grade ABS control panel is designed to easily handle shock, vibration, water and various cleaning solutions.
