VKX 5030C Dual Energy Baggage X-Ray Scanner
The VKX 5030C is the mail-room and parcel machine: a compact 506 x 300 mm tunnel, but 38 mm of steel penetration, which is more than the larger VKX 6550 manages. It carries the full operator toolset including explosive and drug auxiliary detection and Threat Image Projection, in a heavy-duty steel body drawing only 0.5 kVA.

Key benefits
- 38 mm steel penetration, the highest in the VKX range, in the smallest tunnel
- Compact 506 x 300 mm tunnel for mail and parcels
- Explosive and drug auxiliary detection with high density alarm
- Only 0.5 kVA power consumption at 53.8 dB(A)
- Heavy duty steel body with an internal cooling system
Problems it solves
- Compact scanners normally trade away penetration
- Dense parcels defeat low-penetration machines
- A full-size scanner will not fit an entrance hall
- Continuous operation overheats scanners without proper cooling
Who it is for
- Mail rooms screening incoming parcels
- Correctional facilities with dense contraband risk
- Sites with limited space and limited power
Application scenarios
- Mail rooms and entrance halls
- Correctional and judicial facilities
- Schools and other security sensitive areas
- High-volume parcel screening
Technical features
- Digital dual-energy imaging
- 19 inch LED monitor with 64 times continuous zoom
- Threat Image Projection, luggage counter, system and X-ray emitting timers
- Internal cooling system preventing overheating in long operation
- Film safety to ASA/ISO1600

Figures are those published by the factory for this model. Where a value is shown as TBC it is not published, and we will confirm it with the factory before you order rather than estimate it.
Quality control
- Threat Image Projection for operator training
- Film safety to the ASA/ISO1600 standard
Compared with other models in the range
The VKX5030A shares this tunnel at 8 mm penetration from an 80 kV tube. The VKX 5030C runs 140 kV for 38 mm of steel, which is what makes it the choice for dense parcels in a small footprint.
Use guide
- Site in a mail room or entrance hall, the footprint is compact
- Confirm parcels fit the 506 x 300 mm tunnel
- Use the high density alarm on parcels the image cannot resolve
- Run continuously, the internal cooling prevents overheating
- Verify local radiation compliance against the 0.1 microgray/h figure
