The BANCO is an industrial control bench designed to certify the non-radioactivity of any material before or after its integration to the production process.

When one of the pre-set threshold levels is exceeded, the monitor displays gamma contamination and triggers the alarms.

The BANCO features the same detectors, electric components, equipment and softwares than any other Saphymo non-radioactivity monitor. It allows the user to :

• detect very low radioactive sources
  
• measure total activity (Bq) and specific activity (Bq/kg)
  
• control more than 4 tons of materials per hour, with a detection limit of 3.10-3 Bq/g of 60Co
