Thermo Scientific offers Apex upgrades for its metal detector range

Thousands of metal detection units based on the DSP3 architecture installed in food manufacturing facilities worldwide can now 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 staff can help processors meet new, more stringent quality standards with the ability to detect smaller diameter metal contaminants.

Thermo Fisher designed the Apex metal detector upgrade to eliminate the need for setup adjustments by employing Thermo Scientific Intellitrack XR (IXR) software.

Intellitrack features a signal processing approach that addresses the challenges of detecting smaller diameter metals in products that have a higher ‘product effect’.

This occurs when a product has a conductive property, which affects the magnetic field generated by the metal detector. It is typically found in high salt, high moisture product environments.
