Thermo Fisher Scientific introduces Thermal Shock-Resistant Metal Detector
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, announced what is believed to be the first long-life, heavy-duty (HD) wash down metal detector that goes significantly beyond traditional IP69K ratings (the international standard for high pressure, high temperature wash down). Thermo Fisher developed the APEX HD to withstand extreme temperature cycling typically experienced in fresh food processing and sanitation environments.
Metal detectors used for meat, poultry, seafood, dairy and produce applications are typically operated in cold rooms kept between 1 to 5 degrees Celsius (35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit). As part of standard sanitation procedures, these units also are subjected to wash down at temperatures of up to 65 degrees Celsius (150 degrees Fahrenheit) several times a day.
