Sentinel 5000 Multi-scan Metal Detector

Overcome the limitations of fixed single or dual frequency metal detectors with the Thermo Scientific TM Sentinel TM Multi-scan Metal Detector. By scanning up to five user-selectable frequencies running at a time, the Sentinel provides unmatched sensitivity and the highest probability of finding ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel metal contaminants in challenging applications such as dairy, meat, poultry, bread, and other foods with high product effect.

The Sentinel 5000 model is the first multi-scan metal detection platform to scan a combination of up to five user-selectable frequencies to find all random sizes, shapes, and types of metal foreign objects. Sentinel 5000 identifies contaminants that are up to 50% smaller in volume than the Thermo Scientific TM APEX 500 metal detector, and has the same dimensions and conveyor mounting for easy upgrade. The Sentinel 5000 can be used in a metal detection-checkweighing combination system, but due to its size must be mounted on a standalone infeed conveyor.

Standard Features • Frequency Range 50 to 1000 kHz, multi-scan runs up to five frequencies • Easy-to-use touchscreen with new Auto learn function to quickly optimize set-up • Detailed graphical displays for phase, rejects, quality test, and detection thresholds to enable easy fine tuning and troubleshooting • IP69K for severe washdown and dust, eliminating repair costs • All electronics are integral, making mounting easy and flexible • All balance functions are implemented in software, so no need for manual, hardware rebalance in the field • Wide ambient temperature range assuring reliability • FE, non-Fe and 316 SS test pieces included to fit specific application • In combos, the user interface is available on the metal detector AND the checkweigher screens
