durascan magnetic heads produces custom, high quality magnetic heads. Our heads with tough ultra-hard sintered and pressed ceramic wear surfaces are used in high-speed check processing machines used the the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks, commercial check clearinghouses and many large banks.

Our magnetic heads used in check readers and sorters can process over 2,500 checks per minute. Used 24x7x365 this equates to over 1,314,000,000 scans per year (over 1.3 billion! scans). Our durascan magnetic heads last between three and six years under this type of wear environment.
