Thermo Scientific Sentinel 3000 Metal Detector

Thermo Scientific Sentinel Multiscan Metal Detectors for combination systems

Thermo Scientific Sentinel 3000 Metal Detector

Your brand is your most valuable asset; protect it with integrated leading metal detection technology and checkweighing.

The Thermo Scientific™ Sentinel™ metal detector with multiscan technology is designed to achieve the highest level of food safety. For a complete end-of-line quality system, it can be integrated into a Thermo Scientific™ Versa checkweighing system, reducing the total footprint while combining important functions like program changes, alarms and rejection statistics. The metal detector can be operated from its front panel and also from a window displayed on the checkweigher screen, providing the ultimate in flexibility.

Features

Sentinel combo systems can be configured with the reduced size Thermo Scientific™ Sentinel™ 3000 Multiscan Metal Detector mounted on the checkweigher weigh frame to save space. For higher sensitivity a combo can also be configured with a Thermo Scientific™ Sentinel™ 5000 Multiscan Metal Detector mounted on an external infeed conveyor.
