Walk Through Metal Detectors

When you need to scan volumes of people quickly and efficiently for concealed weapons, or other metal objects...

   ...Walkthrough Security Metal Detectors ( Search Arches ) offer you the perfect solution.

A familiar feature at airports, some rail stations, top hotels, etc. Walk Through Metal Detectors (WTMD) units offer a full head to toe scan area and so can detect metallic objects concealed on any part of the body on a single pass through.  

Comprising two vertical side panels plus a bolt on head panel, these mains powered units are simple to assemble and dismantle making them a practical option for static sites, for deployment at short term events such as pop concerts, or in fact anywhere else where large volumes of persons need to be processed quickly and effectively with minimum fuss.

Approvals & Testing

The MD G6500i Arch type detector is Transportation Security Administration (TSA) qualified to meet the new detection requirements of its Enhanced Metal Detector (EMD) specifications for walk through metal detectors. Approved for use in the most demanding environments such as UK and US airports, prisons, court environments, etc.

All of our metal detectors meet or exceed all industry safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards and conform to international directives 'CE'

Simple to set up and use

The sensitivity of the versatile MD PD6500i can be set to pick up almost any metal object passing through it, ...or to minimise false alarms in queue situations, it can be set to pick up critical metal mass such as guns or knives, but to ignore smaller items such as keys - simply select the most appropriate preset operating program to meet your needs, or set up your own programme.  

Pinpointing the location of detected items

The Garrett PD6500i features a unique 33 zone target pinpointing system which instantly identifies the location of the detected weapon or other metallic object.

LED indicators on the exit side of the side panels illuminate to show the height of the object as well as indicating whether it is concealed on the left, right or centre section of the body.
