Smiths Detections HI-SCAN 10080 XCT has been installed at Bremens airport,
the first
fully operational deployment.
The advanced Explosives Detection
System (EDS), which uses X-ray imaging and CT (Computed
Tomography), allows the authorities to upgrade
checked baggage screening at the airports Terminal 3 to the
highest ECAC (European Civil Aviation Conference) EDS Standard 3 requirements for the first time.
Hans Zirwes, Vice
President of International Sales at Smiths Detection, said, The
HI-SCAN 10080 XCT is ideally suited for the installation at all
airports requiring high baggage throughput while lowering
operational costs. Standard 3 requirements will be mandatory for
new EDS equipment at EU airports from September 2014 onwards.
The XCT, which provides a unique imaging solution based on
Smiths Detections dual-view, dual-energy, X-ray technology and CT
from Analogic Corporation, is one of the fastest, largest tunnel-sized
checked baggage screening systems that is EU Standard 3 certified.
With a belt speed of 0.5 meters per second, the
HI-SCAN 10080 XCT can screen up to 1800 bags per hour, including
objects of up to 100 x 80 cm.
