Smith Detection launches XRD scanner


X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an inspection technology offering highly-accurate material discrimination and substance identification based on an object’s molecular structure. 

It is particularly suited to detecting constantly-evolving compounds in powder, liquid or solid forms such as ‘home made’ explosives or narcotics, even for materials with similar densities.

Multi-level baggage and material handling operations and express forwarders are under pressure to screen huge volumes quickly and efficiently and The SDX 10060 XDi can automate the resolution of potential explosive alarms, in turn improving both security and efficiency.

Due to its exceptional sensitivity, XRD technology can also be very effectively deployed to support Customs agencies in screening for a range of contraband items including narcotics, helping to mitigate ever-growing threats to society.

The scanner can integrate seamlessly with existing material and baggage handling systems and is designed to meet ECAC Standard 3.1/3.2 and TSA 7.2 plus future regulations. Certification is under way.
