    Radiation Portal Monitors & Detection Systems

    Detecting contaminated loads early helps maintain operations and reduces costs associated with clean-up and disposal of contaminated material.

    Weightron, the UK’s leading Weighbridge solution provider, offers an RPM (radiation portal monitor) to detect radioactive materials in vehicles and cargo at weighbridge installations, providing early detection to protect operations and avoid the high costs of clean-up and disposal of contaminated materials.

    Need for Radiation Monitoring

     As recycling and waste management become more complex and diverse, there is a growing need to monitor waste materials for traces of radiation before they are reprocessed or incinerated. Weighton’s RPM addresses this need by offering a dynamic, interactive Radiation Portal Monitor that detects low-level artificial and natural radioactive sources in vehicles, rail cars, and cargo loads.

    Applications the system is ideal for:

    • Metal Recyclers
    • Energy from Waste Sites
    • Steel Plants
    • Nuclear Plants
    • Medical Waste Recyclers

    Weighbridge installations are critical control points at site entrances, making them the ideal location to install the Weightron RPM. As the loaded vehicle or container passes through the sensitive radiation detector plates positioned at each side of the weighbridge, it is scanned for traces of radioactivity. The portal monitor systems can be programmed for specific radiation thresholds, and if a radioactive source is detected, the system activates an alarm to notify site security immediately.

    Advanced Features

    The Weightron RPM uses an innovative algorithm designed to compensate for the background attenuation caused by the vehicle driving through. This feature allows the system to perform enhanced radiation detection with a lower false alarm rate compared to other systems, even in the case of small radioactivity sources.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a Weighbridge?

      A Weighbridge (US truck scale) is a large, low-profile scale used to weigh both road and off-road vehicles (rigid and articulated lorries, dumper trucks, vans etc) and their contents. The load carried by the vehicle is calculated by weighing the vehicle both empty and loaded. The main weighbridge deck structure can be constructed from steel, pre-stressed concrete or steel-concrete composite.

      What is a Pit-Mounted Weighbridge?

      Installed inside a pit, these weighbridges sit flush with the road surface. As they don’t require ramps, they take up less road surface compared to surface mount installations. Suitable for sites with restricted access.

      What is a Surface-Mounted Weighbridge?

      Installed above ground, these weighbridges incorporate steel or concrete ramps to allow vehicles to drive on and off. One advantage is that the ramps slow down vehicle entry speed. Less foundation works are required when compared with pit mount installations. Surface designs are suitable for temporary/portable installations when used with steel ramps.
