Thermo Scientific Sentinel 3000 Metal Detector

Why Choose the Thermo Scientific Sentinel 3000 Metal Detector for Your Production Line

When it comes to protecting your brand and delivering safe products, the Thermo Scientific Sentinel 3000 Metal Detector offers unmatched reliability. This system is specially designed to detect even the smallest metal contaminants in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Unlike traditional detectors that use a single frequency, the Sentinel 3000 operates using up to five frequencies at once.

Thermo Scientific Sentinel 3000 is also known for its efficient integration with checkweighing systems, making it easier to monitor multiple aspects of quality control from one unit.

Smart Design Meets Space-Saving Functionality in the Sentinel 3000

The Sentinel 3000 Metal Detector is built with practicality in mind. It fits perfectly on production lines where floor space is limited. By mounting directly on a checkweigher weigh frame, the detector minimizes the equipment footprint, helping manufacturers maintain a clean and efficient layout without removing any key function. This combination of features supports productivity and meets the demands of fast-paced processing environments.

The design is made with stainless steel for durability and easy maintenance. It features welded flanges that reduce the required metal-free zone, which makes installation simpler and more compact.

The user interface is a bonus. Its bright 7-inch color touchscreen gives operators access to settings, statistics, and alerts with just a few taps. The interface is intuitive, so even those with minimal training can run daily inspections without delays.
