Designed for Convenience and Durability

The Thermo Scientific APEX 300 Metal Detector addresses this with thoughtful design elements that make setup and upkeep easier for your staff. All electronics are built into the unit itself or the control panel, meaning fewer parts to connect and less hassle during installation.

The device comes with an epoxy-lined aperture and a solid stainless-steel case, offering long-lasting protection against wear and contamination. All the materials used in construction are FDA-approved, making the APEX 300 Metal Detector a trusted choice for food and pharmaceutical settings.

For busy operators or multi-shift teams, this feature alone can save time and reduce error rates. Add in a standard remote control panel, and it’s clear this metal detector was built with real-world challenges in mind.

Optional Features that Add Value

To make the APEX 300 Metal Detector even more adaptable, Thermo Scientific offers a wide range of optional upgrades. These aren’t just bells and whistles, they’re practical add-ons that improve performance, simplify monitoring, and help with compliance audits.

One such feature is AuditCheck, an automatic performance verification tool that runs self-checks to confirm everything is working properly. It’s a simple way to make sure you stay compliant without interrupting production. You can also install mounting conversion kits that make swapping in the unit to existing setups easier, and field compression flanges that reduce the metal-free zone required for operation.

For those who want real-time communication with the detector, there’s support for Modbus serial and Ethernet connections.

Power stability is key for metal detectors, and Thermo Scientific APEX 300 takes that into account too. Optional washdown isolation transformers protect the unit from sudden electrical issues. And if you’re working with gravity-fed systems, the pivot locking frame helps with stability, use, and cleaning access.

Ensure unmatched detection accuracy in your production line with the best industrial printing machine support system from Intech Solution. The APEX 300 Metal Detector is built for quality-driven operations.
