See What’s Inside: Advanced Baggage & Parcel Inspection
Protect your premises, personnel, and assets with clarity and confidence. VDW ENTERPRISES supplies a comprehensive range of professional X-ray baggage scanners, engineered to provide security operators with a clear visual advantage. From screening handbags at a corporate lobby to inspecting parcels at a government mailroom, our solutions deliver the reliable threat detection required in today's security landscape.
Based in Cape Town, we combine global technological standards with local operational expertise to provide the right scanner for your specific throughput, space, and risk profile.
While metal detectors identify metallic objects, an X-ray scanner reveals the complete contents of a bag, parcel, or box. It is the definitive tool for detecting: Weapons (firearms, knives, improvised devices), Contraband & Prohibited Items, Organic Threats, Stolen Assets or Intellectual Property
Ideal for: Corporate headquarters, Government buildings (Home Affairs, SAPS), Courthouses, Data Centres, High-traffic public facilities.
Q: Are X-ray scanners safe for electronic devices, medications, or film?
A: Yes. The ultra-low dosage will not damage standard electronics, USB drives, smartphones, or medications. For unexposed, high-speed photographic film, we recommend manual inspection as a precaution.
Q: Can you detect explosives or drugs?
A: X-ray scanners excel at detecting the shapes, densities, and organic/inorganic composition characteristic of threat items. While they provide strong indicators, definitive identification of specific substances like explosives or narcotics typically requires complementary technologies like ETD (Explosive Trace Detection) scanners.
Q: How do we handle a suspicious image?
A: Our training includes standard operating procedures (SOPs). The protocol is to stop the conveyor, isolate the bag, and perform a manual search. The item should never be opened by the screening officer; it should be handled by designated security personnel following your facility's bomb threat or contraband procedures.
Q: What about service and parts?
A: We maintain a local inventory of critical spare parts in Cape Town. We offer tiered Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMCs) that include regular inspections, calibration, and priority support to ensure your scanner remains a reliable asset.
