Preventive maintenance and sensitivity tests of the portal monitoring system at HKS The Metal Company

Our Field Service Engineer Yilmaz Aydogan and Radiation expert Tommy Hermans visited HKS Metal Company in Tiel – formerly known as ARN – for preventive maintenance and sensitivity tests. This ultra-sensitive portal monitoring system detects the presence of radioactive substances of each incoming loaded truck with metal to be recycled.

Waste & Recycling

When radioactive materials are found in areas such as scrap metal recycling, waste handling, or incinerators, the concern becomes that undetected radioactive substances in appreciable amounts may cause unnecessary risk to members of the public, facility workers, and the environment. If these radioactive substances enter the metal recycling or waste-processing stream, they can contaminate equipment, products, and the environment, resulting in a significant financial impact due to clean-up costs.

Installed radiation portal monitor systems are used to detect the presence of radioactive substances in incoming loads of materials to a facility. RSI’s revolutionary technology is specialized for the demanding recycling environment and provides an unsurpassed detection of shielded radiation sources.
