OM-P/X
OM-P/X Portal X-ray System is for cargo container inspection. It scans only the cargo container – not the truck cab.
Its maximum inspection throughput rate is 120 standard 40’ (12 m) ISO cargo container trucks per hour. Drivers do not leave the cabs while their trucks are being scanned. Once positioned at the Portal entrance, the system starts working; the driver then drives the truck through the Portal, during which time X-rays are turned on to scan the container’s contents.
X-rays are controlled only at the point where: a) the driver’s cab is outside the beam scan area; b) the cargo container enters the beam scan area. c) the truck is at the volley all the time. Thus, the cargo container is scanned, but the driver and/or passenger in the cab is not.
Portal can real-time store the scanned images, and sent them to remote control room to analysis (multiple workstations can be provided).
Portal can inspect the full range of the freight container vehicles (including ultra-high and extra-wide truck bodies)
Portal designed primarily consists of one radiation source (7.5MeV/5MeV dual-energy betatron) and one solid detector array. The betatron has many advances: high energy, 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 260mm or more.
Portal image features are: with the best penetration and wire resolution analytical capacity; it has good spatial resolution and material to differentiate between such auxiliary processing functions.
Portal can be installed on a small area of open space (saves a lot of investment, better than the fixed one with shelter). The time for installation and commission is less than 3 weeks. The control room can be built near the equipment, also can be installed in the mobile van.
In order to avoid exposing personnel to potentially unsafe levels of radiation, the beams generated from the high-energy radiation source must be properly shielded. A barrier fence will be installed to prevent intrusion into Portal’s operational area. An optical fence will also be installed to secure the truck’s path through the system. If necessary, Portal’s design can easily incorporate other barrier systems, such as lift gates, traffic lights and reverse-direction denial systems as required by the customer.
The standard Portal System has a system footprint of approximately 10 m wide by 17 m long. The Portal is designed to ensure that non-radiation workers outside this controlled operation area would receive an average cumulative dose rate during one hour of operation to comply within national safety regulations (1μSv/h).
Portal equipped with bull bars (or automatic high/wide-limited sensor).
