Metal Detection All-rounder Fortress Technology Unveils Smart Inspection Cube At Interpack 2017
Hall 17, Stand B42
For every food or packaging inspection scenario there’s a highly sensitive metal detection option. Visitors to the Fortress Technology stand at Interpack 2017 (Hall 17, Stand B42) will discover the full scope of the company’s latest metal detection portfolio in the four key application formats – horizontal conveyor, multi-lane, gravity and pipeline. All integrated with Fortress’ cutting edge software and ancillary equipment.
Test samples will pass through the interactive four-sided cube, showcasing:
1. Fortress’s breakthrough, space-saving multi-lane, multi-aperture metal detector range, featuring contact data software and a mobile App for remote interrogation.
Interpack 2017 will be the first public presentation of a triple-lane configuration. Comprising a single Stealth metal detector mounted across three conveyor lines, each dedicated aperture measures 175mmx75mm, so is more sensitive to smaller metal particles, detecting all metal types down 0.7 mm ferrous, 0.7 mm non ferrous and 1.4 mm stainless steel.
This multi-lane system also optimises factory floor space, reducing equipment footprint by over 50%. And with one system rather than three standalone metal detectors to maintain, improves TCO by 65%.
2. Stealth pipeline metal detector equipped with new Halo 2 automatic test technology. Predominantly used in the processing of meat products like sausages and pate, as well as pumped dairy, Fortress will demonstrate how access, product flow and environmental conditions can hinder the accuracy of manual metal detector tests on pipeline applications.
3. Incline feed Stealth gravity metal detector, designed for inline inspection of dry, powder or granular products gravity fed from processing machines at high volumes, ensuring compliance with stringent HACCP regulations.
4. A horizontal Interceptor conveyor system, increasing food safety on wet and conductive product lines, including bakery, cereals, meat and dairy. This Interceptor range overcomes the longstanding issue of product effect when using a metal detector, increasing detection sensitivity by up to 100% for stainless steel and helping to eliminate false product rejects.
On an adjacent plinth, Fortress will provide a practical demonstration on a small conveyor metal detector, showing how Halo 2 offers a failsafe and more cost effective way to periodically test metal detectors and strengthen manufacturing due diligence.
Using a demonstration programme running on a laptop, visitors can see first hand how automatic testing helps to eliminate human error and saves money by reducing the time spent running and documenting repetitive manual metal detector tests.
“Our return to Interpack represents how much metal detection technology has evolved in the last three years,” notes European Sales Director, Phil Brown.
“The market for metal detection on the continent continues to grow and Fortress has responded to manufacturers’ calls for more cost efficient, never obsolete metal detectors that deliver optimal food safety and quality control on their packaging lines, without compromising on sensitivity.
In fact, our Interceptor and multi-lane, multi-aperture systems now reliably detect the range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including aluminium, providing for many food inspection applications a viable alternative with equal performance levels to x-ray systems, yet at a fraction of the cost.”
Fortress Technology, which has manufacturing sites in the UK, Canada and Brazil, has installed equipment in over 45 countries with SME and world-renowned food manufacturers.
Year-on-year, the company continues to expand its production and global distribution footprint, sticking to its founding business ethos of supplying bespoke, never obsolete metal inspection systems that deliver simple operation, outstanding reliability, and exceptional performance.
