The Event Security Experts

As the UK events sector gets back on its feet, Scan-X are happy to help secure one the country’s biggest outdoor events and concerts – British Summertime in Hyde Park. We continue to invest in our rental fleet of physical security equipment – x-ray machines, metal detection archways and related products – and can help with 1 day VIP protection needs upwards.

Secure Screening for Venues

Scan-X team up with Todd Research to deliver another secure screening solution.
One x-ray machine and four Archway Metal Detectors to be in use from today.
Helping secure another well known venue and ensuring the visitors are kept safe.

The latest Scan-X Security install


The latest Scan-X Security install – a fast parcel screening system complete with an automated conveyor system.
A Nuctech XT2100HS ECAC approved C3 CT x-ray machine has been integrated with a Better Conveyor system, to produce a parcel screening solution that has eight exit lanes and a total of 67 conveyors.
All of the above equipment was installed, integrated and is now maintained by Scan-X Security.

State of the art computed tomography (CT) security x-ray technology

Nuctech have implemented state-of-the-art stationary computed tomography (CT) technology.
The WooKong H breaks through the limitations of tunnel size and screening speed.
Contraband hidden in inspected items can be automatically detected.
The WooKong H provides a three-dimensional (3D) image and multislice images of the inspected item clearly showing its contents. Its equipped with a popular size tunnel opening of 1 meter wide by 1 meter high, as well as being capable of being fully integrated with baggage handling systems(BHS) and network integration systems.

New Kylin Ti ECAC approved x-ray machine

Nuctech have developed a brand new Kylin Ti ECAC approved C3 machine for cabin baggage screening.
Conveniently, this new machine is only 2.4m in length and will fit in the space vacated by the existing C1 and C2 machines meaning the lane length doesn’t need to be extended.

Drone Defense

Scan-X Security are proud to announce we’re the UK agent for the Unival DroneWall drone detection and defense system.
The unival USG cUAS system is an automatic radio monitoring system for Drone detection. It does not use conventional radio jamming techniques but instead sends channel-specific DoS and DoA attacks towards the drone and its access points, without interfering with neighbouring WiFinetworks. This causes the drone remote control operator to lose the control over the drone and the drone will go to “return to home” mode.

New Dual-view baggage inspection system

Kylin Care is a brand-new dual-view baggage inspection system developed by NUCTECH COMPANY LIMITED.
With dual-view detection technology, Kylin Care realizes automated detection and alarm for contraband, such as
controlled drugs, explosives, high-density materials by acquiring and analyzing the atomic number, appearance
and shape of inspected items.
Kylin Care has a tunnel size of 500 mm wide by 350 mm high, with a compact structural design and superior performance,
especially suitable for a personal luggage security check. Integrated with advanced industrial design concepts, Kylin
Care has an attractive small appearance, and convenient size for installation and re-location.

2022 Scan-X Installs

2022 is already proving to be another very busy year for Scan-X across all parts of our business: sales, service and rental.
We’ve been installing the latest ECAC standard 3 cabin and hold baggage x-ray machines at airports. We’ve also been ensuring these integrate seamlessly with tray return systems. Our rentals team have supported political and business events, with the busy sporting and festival season still to come. Proactive and reactive maintenance is a constant throughout our year of course, with some sites requiring a 2 hour response to site to support high uptime needs.

Scan-X 2021 Annual Challenge

The overall winner was Mike Rainey. Well done Mike!

On to 2022’s Challenge. What will it be:- Darts? Pool? Dog racing? Hover craft racing?
