Product Highlights
HI-SCAN 7555 DV now ECAC EDS CB C1 certified
The certified automated explosives detection algorithm eliminates the need for random searches using additional explosive trace detectors or dogs. This streamlines the security screening process, increases passenger throughput and improves passenger experience. The HI-SCAN 7555 DV is ideal for high-throughput environments such as passenger or staff security screening checkpoints at airports.
We are happy to announce the launch of the SDX 100100 DV series. It is designed to meet the needs of airports, custom facilities, and parcel services, delivering high throughput break-bulk freight and oversized baggage screening.
