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.
