PORTAL-BETA is a unique multi-view multi-energy rail mounted gantry designed for the inspection of sealed sea freight such as 20/40/45ft containers, consignments inside trucks and other vehicles. It can detect smuggled goods, including plastic weapons, explosives, drugs and radioactive materials.
The main system components are the X-ray generator, which produces high-energy X-ray beam, and the highly sensitive L-shaped detector. PORTAL-BETA is designed in such a way that it is practically impossible to hide illegal items inside the inspected objects owing to the multiple imaging obtained from various perspectives. These panoramas are chosen in such a way that the hidden item will be surely seen from one of the multi-views regardless of its location inside the inspected object.
The PORTAL-BETA high-performance imaging capacity grants the operator with precise X-ray images of the container or vehicle and its contents with organic and inorganic material discrimination and colorization based on atomic number, providing fast and solid results in a single scan.
The high-end software gives operators variety of customizable image processing options and matching tools; it is a comprehensive support for the timely interpretation of X-ray images and verification of cargo.
The PORTAL-BETA combines powerful penetration and low radiation dosage. The system is normally located in a temperature-controlled environment or solid build infrastructure and can operate 24/7. The system automatically inspects vehicles without driver placed between the rails (the gantry moves over them). Images are transmitted to the remote control room for further examination. PORTAL-BETA is ideally suited for applications at customs facilities, sea and airports, border crossings. The system configuration allows fast and thorough inspection of 20/40/45ft sea containers and other freight up to 25 - 40 vehicles/ trucks per hour.
The system provides:
Temperature controlled infrastructure (heated hangar)
Bremsstrahlung source (single or multi betatron)
L-shaped detector unit(s)
Control unit
Transportation unit (electric motor system)
