Smiths Detection SDX 10080 SCT

Hold Baggage and Air Cargo Screening with Dual-Energy CT

The Smiths Detection SDX 10080 SCT is a high-throughput Explosives Detection System (EDS) designed for hold baggage and air cargo screening. Using dual-energy Computed Tomography (CT), it generates detailed three-dimensional images to help identify concealed explosive threats while supporting efficient screening in demanding airport and cargo environments.

Built on Smiths Detection’s established CT screening technology, the SDX 10080 SCT combines a large inspection tunnel, continuous conveyor operation and a modular design that can adapt to changing operational and regulatory requirements. The system is designed to screen more than 1,800 bags per hour, making it suitable for high-volume baggage-handling facilities.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Dual-energy CT technology: Produces detailed 3D images to support the detection of concealed explosive threats.
  • Optional dual-view line scanner: Adds high-resolution 2D colour images for more detailed examination and alarm resolution.
  • High screening throughput: Designed to process more than 1,800 bags per hour.
  • Large inspection tunnel: The 1,070 × 810 mm tunnel supports screening of large baggage and cargo items.
  • Fast conveyor operation: Belt speed of 0.5 m/s supports continuous high-volume screening.
  • Modular architecture: Available as a CT-only system or with the optional line-scanner module.
  • Operational resilience: The CT-plus-line-scanner configuration offers complementary scanning capabilities and helps maintain screening continuity if one scanner becomes unavailable.
  • Energy-efficient design: Reduced energy consumption and simplified air-based cooling help lower operating costs.
  • Dynamic calibration: Supports continuous screening without requiring periodic conveyor stops for calibration.
  • Optional iCMORE algorithms: Extend detection capabilities for selected threats, depending on the chosen software configuration.
  • Integration-ready design: Supports integration into airport baggage-handling systems and wider screening workflows.

Applications

The Smiths Detection SDX 10080 SCT is designed for:

  • Airport hold baggage screening
  • Air cargo security screening
  • Centralised baggage-handling systems
  • High-volume airport terminals
  • Cargo and logistics screening facilities
  • Explosives detection and alarm resolution workflows
  • Aviation security infrastructure upgrades
  • Integrated screening systems requiring high throughput

Designed for Modern Airport Screening

The SDX 10080 SCT combines advanced CT imaging with high-throughput conveyor operation and a modular architecture. Airports can select the CT-only configuration or add the optional line scanner to obtain additional high-resolution imaging and complementary inspection capability.
