OMNI-SCAN-F/X

Overview

OM-SCAN-F/X

OMNI-SCAN-F/X is a Fixed x-ray scanning system for cargo container inspection. It moves on rails carrying the radiation source and detector array while scanning trucks remained unmoved in a shelter. Its maximum inspection throughput rate is 30 standard  40’ (18 m) ISO cargo container trucks per hour. It is able to scan 2 trucks per scan.

 

OMNI-SCAN-F/X designed primarily consists of one radiation source (7.5MeV/4MeV dual-energy betatron) and one solid detector array. The betatron has many advances: dual energy, low radiation (5rad/min at 1m) ultra-low leakage dose rate (10-5), safe, simple, reliable, and suitable for fast scanning detection. Portal can image cargo equivalent to iron right up to 350mm or more.

 

Gantry can real-time store the scanned images, and sent them to remote control room to analysis (multiple workstations can be provided).

 

Its image features are: with material discrimination, the best penetration and wire resolution analytical capacity; it has good spatial resolution and material differentiation.

 

The Gantry is located in a fixed scanning tunnel or a shelter with a control room and an exclusive zone will be set up to ensure that the persons outside this zone would receive an average cumulative dose rate during one hour of operation to comply within national safety regulations (1μSv/h).
