Walk-through Metal Detectors
Metal-detector technology shapes a growing part of our lives. It has a range of uses that span from leisure to work to safety. The metal detectors in airports, office buildings, schools, government agencies and prisons help ensure that no one is bringing a weapon onto the premises.
Consumer-oriented metal detectors provide millions of people around the world with an opportunity to discover hidden treasures. Any public event calls for the use of metal detectors -- both walk-through and hand-held metal detectors.
Walk-through metal detectors are most common in airports, hotels, government buildings, and other public places. They are designed to detect razor blades, weapons and microprocessor chips. They come with superb discrimination, excellent target selection, high throughput, low false alarm rate, uniform detection within the entire archway, and a bi-directional system. Some excel in "metal free" security applications and come with one-eighth of an inch thick aluminum shielding panels, easy calibration for program, and sensitivity settings.
There are portable walk-through metal detectors that can be easily installed and stored away. They are compact and lightweight and usually require no initial calibration. Prices of walk-through metal detectors range from $3000 to $6000 depending upon the brand and features provided. The Garrett Magnascanner PD 6500 and Garrett Magnascanner CS5000 walk-through metal detectors are among the most popular.
