Trace / Explosive Detection

About Trace / Explosive Detection

Our Trace and Explosive Detection solutions are designed to meet the rigorous standards of international security authorities, delivering reliable, high-performance screening in high-throughput environments.

Optimized for efficiency and minimal disruption, our equipment accurately detect a broad range of threats — including liquid explosives, metal components of parcel bombs (such as detonators, batteries, and trigger circuits) and concealed weapons or explosives hidden in footwear.

Equipped with advanced technology for high sensitivity and precise discrimination, our detectors significantly reduce false alarms from personal metal items while enabling the simultaneous detection and identification of explosives and illicit drugs — making them an essential solution for critical security checkpoints.

CEIA - Liquid Explosive Detector

The EMA is a compact device designed for the analysis of liquid containers and their contents with the goal of detecting the possible presence of explosive precursors and explosive liquids.

The content of the bottles is analyzed without the need to open the container as the detection is effected using simultaneous multiple sensing technologies.

The housing of the analyser, which is extremely robust, durable and easy to clean, is made of AISI 304 Stainless Steel and anti-friction plastic.

The Analyser consists of a main body, a control panel and an analysis compartment. In case of open containers such as cups and thermos flasks, it is possible to carry out the analysis by means of the type A integrated analyser (optional), using small disposable plastic sample cups to be inserted into an external probe.

Basic Specification:

Type A & B: 545mm (W) x 317mm (L) x 330mm (H) / 17.5kg

Type B only: 470mm (W) x 317mm (L) x 330mm (H) / 17kg

Key Features

Accurate automatic inspection of sealed and unsealed LAGs (Liquids, Aerosols and Gels) in ~ 5 sec. (Type B) and ~ 4 sec. (Type A – Optional)
Compact size and ergonomic design
Certified to screen liquids in clear, colored and opaque plastic and glass, metal and metallized containers
Very low combined Nuisance Alarm Rate: < 0.4%
No-ionizing source or part in movements
No maintenance required

Inspection of bottles or containers

Independently of their shape

Made of different materials
In a wide range of capacity

CEIA - EMIS-MAIL

The EMIS®-MAIL is designed to detect a wide variety of metal threat items including detonators, batteries, trigger circuits and other metal components of parcel bombs without false alarms for non-threat items such as metal staples, paper clips and metal binding spirals.

The EMIS®-MAIL is very easy to use and provides a fast and automatic alarm/no alarm signal confirmation per each inspected package. Its compact, ergonomic design along with the electric and built-in NiMH rechargeable battery power supply allows for independent operation in a variety of locations. An optional embedded radioactive detector is also available for radioactive material threat detection.

Basic Specification: 450mm (W) x 565mm (L) x 250mm (H) / 16kg

Key Features

Automatic inspection of parcels and letters up to 45 cm in width and 7.5 cm thickness
Detection of detonators, batteries, trigger circuits and other metallic components of letter bombs
No alarm on metal staples, paperclips and metal binding spirals
Ergonomic, compact design
Confirmation of signal (OK/ALARM) for each package inspected
Operates on mains power supply and with NiMH rechargeable batteries (opt.)
No calibration or periodic maintenance required
Integrated battery charger
Optional embedded radioactive material detector

Application Areas

Qualified to operate in a prison or correctional facility environment with specific settings available for prison parcel inspection.

CEIA - SAMDEX

New experiments and trails with shoe analyzers were performed during the 2015 and 2016 as part of the Security Vision programme (Programme Vision Surete, France) and provided preliminary feedback on this very promising type of equipment.

As well as substantially improving the quality of service given to passengers, the vast majority of whom no longer need to take their shoes off during screening, the shoe analyzers increased the efficiency of security checks. Actually, metal and explosives concealed in the shoes of people with malicious intent can be detected more easily.

Basic Specification: 535mm (W) x 715mm (L) x 980mm (H) / 120kg

Key Features

SED & SMD integrated unit
Certified against relevant detection standards for explosive and metallic threats
Bulk detection, based on actual material properties measurement
Clear “OK/ALARM” result for each shoe inspected to avoid missed analysis
Increased checkpoint throughput by elimination of shoe divestiture and X-ray check
Increased comfort: passengers keep their shoes on
Ergonomics: simple and stress-free use. Easy-to-grip handle for safe use
Analysis time: 2 sec. typical/shoe
Network: Ethernet connection and NetID compatible

Application Areas

Ideal equipment for inspection in police roadblock, large events, airports, stadiums, highways and checkpoints.
