Free Release Monitor – the Movable Solution for Gamma Detection in Large Items and Containers
The HWM-1800C clearance monitor integrated in a standard overseas shipping container offers a clearance capacity in real industrial dimensions, for measuring goods of up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) in a chamber of more than 1,800 L (63.5 ft3). The concept enables high flexibility in the varying demands of a typical dismantling site.
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, integration in a coated overseas shipping container
- 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
- MCEA - Multichannel Energy Analysis
- Spectrum Comparison Module - Checks if there are different energy spectra at different locations within the material being measured
- Network capability for remote monitoring and supervision
