Bertin Launches the New SaphyGATE G Range of Radiation Portal Monitors for Vehicles and Their Loads

The SaphyGATE
G portal monitors combine easy operation and maintenance with
robustness and compliance with the strictest international standards

MONTIGNY LE BRETONNEUX, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#radiationprotection—Bertin
Technologies, a CNIM
Group subsidiary, has announced the launch of its new
SaphyGATE G range of radiation portal monitors. The first devices in
this range of portal monitors automatically detect the potential
radioactivity of vehicles, such as trucks and trains, and their loads.
Dedicated to the control of radiation hazards on industrial and civil
sites, these devices offer excellent measuring performances and meet the
requirements of IEC62022 international standard, one of the most
demanding in the field.

It is not uncommon to observe radioactive sources in freight vehicles.
Some accidents, related to radioactive material flows management, have
been recently recorded worldwide, causing the spread of nuclear
material, sometimes in manufactured products. These accidents have
serious economic, environmental and human consequences, including
several cases of death.

Designed in France, Italy and Germany, the new SaphyGATE
G50 and G100 portal monitors incorporate high-performance detectors.
Vehicles to be checked pass between the detectors, installed in pillars.
The readings obtained by the detectors are analyzed in real time by the
processing system on the control station. To obtain the most accurate
possible readings, Bertin developed an innovative algorithm, designed to
compensate the radioactive background attenuation induced by the vehicle
driving through.

The ergonomics of the SaphyGATE G control station was engineered in
collaboration with Bertin ergonomics experts. The system can be easily
operated and supervised by site personnel after a short training period.
Suitable for all types of climatic conditions, the SaphyGATE G50 and
G100 can be used for the purposes of metallurgical,
recycling and border
control installations, and hospital
and nuclear
infrastructure.

“We have been developing the SaphyGATE G for several years and our
portal monitors are among the top-ranking solutions on the market,”
points out Bruno Vallayer, Vice President Marketing & Sales at Bertin. “On
top of their radiation measuring performances, SaphyGATE G portal
monitors comply with the requirements of one of the toughest
international standards, IEC62022. This places the SaphyGATE G at the
industry’s cutting edge. Our international ambitions for this solution
have already been confirmed by our first customer orders.”
