Fortress Phantom Metal Detector System

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged or unpackaged food products.
• Ensuring product integrity and consumer safety in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Quality control in plastics and recycling industries to protect machinery.
• Inspection of textiles and apparel for broken needles or other metal fragments.
• Checking non-food items for metal inclusions prior to further processing.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput rates commonly range from 10 to 60 metres per minute, depending on product size and type.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 380-415V, 50Hz, with a low amperage draw.

Detection sensitivity

Fortress Phantom systems are known for high sensitivity, capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with exact sensitivity depending on aperture size and product effect.

Construction materials

Frames and contact parts are typically constructed from stainless steel, suitable for hygienic environments.

Reject mechanism

This model features a belt stop on detect reject system, commonly found for reliable contaminant removal.

Footprint

The overall footprint for an inclined conveyor system with a metal detector is typically around 1.5 to 2.5 metres in length, depending on the conveyor and aperture dimensions.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Fortress Phantom metal detectors are designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. The specific sensitivity for each type of metal can vary based on product characteristics and aperture size.

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the conveyor speed be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector system?

• How does the 'belt stop on detect' reject system work?

Metal detectors for food processing remain reliable workhorses in quality control operations. Buyers typically value their durability and consistent contamination detection capability. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history and sensitivity settings proves essential. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward maintenance records and minimal downtime. Common strengths include robust construction, straightforward operation, and cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment. Prospective buyers should verify functional testing documentation and assess integration compatibility with existing production lines.
