Keeping Airports Safe
Walk Through Metal Detectors
Walk-through detectors like the Garrett PD 6500i serve as the frontline defense in airport security. This detector meets the world’s highest test standards, including TSA, ECAC, and more, and is certified for use in major international airports. These full-body scanners use magnetic fields to detect metal objects that an individual might have in their possession. When individuals pass through, any presence of metal will disturb the field and alert the TSA officer of a potentially harmful item.
Key Characteristics
- Accurate and Precise Pinpointing
- Comprehensive Coverage for Thorough Security
- Fully Mobile with casters installed
- Meets International Security Standards
(Paragon pending full certification)
- Multiple Detection Zones for Security Versatility
- Easy to Install
- Quick Setup
Handheld Metal Detectors
Our hand-held metal detectors provide an extra layer of security when an additional search is needed for someone’s carry-on items. These detectors, often used by TSA agents or other security professionals, are designed for closer inspection. For example, security officers can take random checks or perform secondary screening in the normal security line if a zone is flagged by a walkthrough metal detector.
Key Characteristics
- Ultimate Sensitivity
- Pinpoint Threats & Metal Objects
- Self-Calibrating
- Portable Scanners
- Audio and Visual Alarms
- Supports Walk-Through Detectors
Enhancing Safety and Security with Airport Metal Detectors
Maintaining safety and security is a top priority for any airport, and metal detectors serve as critical assets in meeting this priority. Our metal detectors meet the world’s highest test certifications for airports, in and out of the United States - TSA, ECAC, STAC, AENA, and CJIAC.
Reinforcing Security
The metal detectors installed in airports must meet requirements set by the Transportation Security Administration, or those set by the aviation authority of the country of installation. The main purpose of these detectors is to flag potential threats, from a simple belt buckle to more harmful items like guns and weapons. Knowing that every person boarding a flight has been through a thorough security check also gives everyone peace of mind that they’re entering a safe environment.
Streamlining the Security Line
Modern metal detectors are becoming even more efficient by reducing the amount of false alarms triggered by non-threatening objects, such as knee/joint/ hip replacements and other medical implants. This efficiency expedites the airport screening process, allowing for quicker boarding pass verification and shorter lines at each security checkpoint.
Innovative Features
Modern metal detectors now come with various advanced features like adjustable sensitivity levels and multiple programs for detecting different types of metal, ferrous or non-ferrous. Our iC Module technology stands out for its settings control and monitoring from a remote location. Users gain real-time access to all walk-through metal detectors during security screening, and they can adjust settings individually or in groups.
Integration with Existing Security Systems
Our metal detectors integrate with existing security procedures at airports, such as x-ray machines and surveillance cameras. We take a multi-layered security approach, enhancing the overall security landscape and ensuring a safer environment for all travelers and staff.
