Linescan - Cargo Scanner

The Linescan 229 is a cargo X-ray screening system with a tunnel opening of 1.8m (6') wide by 1.8m (6') high. The Linescan 229 is a 450Kv system that can accommodate large pallets, crates, and containers typical in air cargo. Using EG&G Astrophysics' patented E-Scan® technology, the Linescan 229 can be used to inspect cargo pallets for narcotics and contraband as well as manifest verification. It is ideal for use at ports of entry, warehouses, airports, customs facilities, and transportation operations.

The Linescan 229 can inspect pallets and containers weighing up to 3600kg (7920 lbs.) without having to disassemble pallets or unpacking containers. The Linescan 229 also saves processing time and storage space by avoiding the 24 hour "Wait Time" required in case of a bomb threat.

The Linescan 229 is assembled on site and can be easily integrated into an existing cargo handling system.
