EMA Bottle and Liquid Scanner
NSNs: 6665-151805235 / 6665-151805236

The EMA is a compact device designed for the analysis of bottles and their contents with OpErATIOnAl SEquEncE

the goal of detecting the possible presence of combustible, flammable and explosive liquids.
When the operator places the bottle in the inspection cavity, its presence is automatically
detected and the analysis process starts. 1
The entire volume of the bottle is analyzed in order to verify its conformity with benign
liquids. After a few seconds, the unit provides an OK or Alarm message without requiring
any data interpretation by the operator. Calibration is carried out automatically by the unit.
If the results of the measurements correspond to the characteristics of innocuous liq-
uids (e.g. soft drinks, water, wine, liquor), EMA returns the “OK” message and a green light.
If the results of the measurements do not conform to the characteristics of innocu-
ous liquids, EMA provides an acoustic and red light alarm and a message requiring further
inspection of the content.
The electromagnetic fields generated in the inspection cavity are weak in intensity and
non-ionizing, therefore completely safe for the liquids and for the operator. thE opERAtoR InsERts thE ContAInER to bE
