Thermo Scientific APEX Metal Detector

Thermo Scientific APEX Metal Detector

The Thermo Scientific APEX Upgrade is a performance-enhancing kit used to modernize older industrial metal detectors, specifically those built on the DSP2, DSP3, and Metal Eliminator platforms.

Specs:

• Operating Voltage: 120/230 VAC (single phase) at 50/60 Hz
• Current Draw: 0.40 Amps
• Protection Rating: The unit is rated for IP69K washdown environments and has a Type 3 protection class
• Operating Temperature: -10°C to +40°C (+14°F to +104°F)
• Aperture Dimensions: 14" Width x 8" Height x 15" Length

It is primarily used in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing to:

• Detect Smaller Containments: It improves sensitivity, allowing for the detection of metal fragments that are 5-10% smaller in diameter than before
• Reduce Waste: The upgrade uses advanced software to better distinguish between real metal and "product effect" (signals from salt or moisture), which helps prevent the accidental rejection of good products
