Thermo Scientific APEX 100 Metal Detector

Economical metal detection for conveyor applications

Thermo Scientific APEX 100 Metal Detector

The Thermo Scientific™ APEX 100 Metal Detector provides basic, cost-effective protection from the most common metal contaminants found in food production today. It is designed and built using the same core technology as the other APEX models and is available for conveyor, drop through and checkweighing combination applications.

With the APEX 100 in your production line, you can quickly and completely fulfill your quality goals, protect expensive downstream production equipment and be assured your production shipments don’t contain any unwanted metallic foreign objects.
