Mail Screening
Advanced Mailroom Screening Equipment
Mail Screening
Advanced Package Screening for Enhanced Security
Mail screening is characterised by very high security standards in order to detect detonators, batteries, electrical trigger circuits, blades and firearms concealed in parcels and letters.
The Metal Detectors employed in this particular sector have to guarantee high discrimination of metal staples, paper-clips and other metal elements normally to be found in the post without any reduction of sensitivity regarding the detection of the specified threats.
In today’s interconnected world, the security of mail and parcels has never been more critical. With the rise of digital communication, the physical mail that arrives at our homes and offices might seem less significant. However, it remains a potent avenue for threats ranging from industrial espionage to terrorism. Mail screening, therefore, is an essential component of modern security strategies, ensuring the safety of individuals and the integrity of businesses and government entities alike.
Understanding Mail Threats
Mail threats are diverse and can have severe consequences if not detected and managed promptly. Here are some common types of threats that mail screening aims to mitigate:
- Explosives: Devices designed to cause damage, harm, or intimidate, including letter bombs.
- Biological Agents: Substances that can cause illness or death in living organisms, such as anthrax or ricin.
- Chemical Substances: Hazardous chemicals that can injure or kill through exposure or contamination.
- Contraband: Illegal or prohibited items, including drugs and weapons.
- Cyber Threats: Devices or messages intended to compromise digital security.

Advanced Mail Screening Technologies
The evolution of mail threats has necessitated the development of sophisticated mail screening technologies. Here’s an overview of the key technologies employed in modern mail screening:
Metal Detection and EMIS (Electro-Magnetic Inspection Scanner) Technology
- Broad Application: Effective in screening for metallic threats, including improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
- Non-Metallic Threat Detection: EMIS technology extends capabilities to detect non-metallic items, offering comprehensive screening.
X-ray Scanning
Comprehensive Detection: X-ray scanners provide detailed images of a package’s contents, identifying hidden objects. This technology is crucial for detecting a wide range of threats, including explosives, weapons, and other hazardous materials, ensuring that potentially dangerous items are intercepted before reaching their intended destination.
Enhanced Security Measures: The use of X-ray technology in mail screening represents a critical component of an organisation’s security strategy. By offering a non-intrusive means to examine the interior of mail items, X-ray inspection helps maintain the flow of mail while ensuring thorough scrutiny of parcels and letters for any concealed threats.
Trace Detection
- Sensitive Detection: Identifies minute particles of explosives and narcotics, ensuring even small quantities are detected.
- Rapid Results: Delivers quick screening outcomes, facilitating efficient mail processing.
Desktop Mail Scanners
- Ease of Use: Designed for simplicity, allowing quick training of mailroom staff.
- Versatility: Capable of detecting a wide range of threats, including explosives.
