Free Release Monitor for Gamma Emitting Radionuclides in Large Items and Containers

The Model HWM-1800 offers clearance capacity in real industrial dimensions, for measuring goods of up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and a chamber of more than 1,800 L (63.5 ft³).

The standard unit is equipped with the following features:

24 gamma plastic detectors for complete 4π coverage
50 mm (2 in.) lead shielding
Built-in weigh scale for up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lb)
Powder-coated steel frame with easy to clean stainless steel lining inside and outside
Electrically driven double-wing doors including safety devices to protect people accessing the moving door area
Electrically driven chain-conveyor with jigs to fix standard grid-boxes and barrels
Stand-alone control terminal including touch-screen display, PC, and keyboard
Fully automated measuring process with user guidance
MCA - Multichannel Analysis
Spectrum Comparison Module - Check if there are different energy spectra at different locations in the material being measured
Network capability for remote monitoring and supervision

The Model HWM-1800 allows fast and reliable detection of gamma radiation on a very large scale. Equipped with the latest measuring electronics and a built-in maintenance module, it allows optimization of the system to ensure consistent peak performance.
