Fortress - Fortis Metal Detector (New) – Left-to-Right (U2143)

• Detecting metal contaminants in baked goods and cereals.
• Ensuring product safety in confectionery and dairy processing.
• Quality control for packaged foods, including fruit, vegetables, meat, and poultry.
• Inspection of nuts, grains, and snack foods to prevent foreign object contamination.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput is typically determined by conveyor speed and product size, commonly handling hundreds to thousands of items per minute depending on application.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase power, typically 230V or 400V AC.

Search head aperture

The search head aperture for similar units is commonly specified by width and height, impacting the maximum product dimensions that can pass through.

Detection sensitivity

Modern metal detectors, such as this, typically offer high sensitivity for ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel contaminants, often down to sub-millimetre sizes.

Conveyor belt type

Modular belts are commonly used for their durability, ease of cleaning, and suitability for various food products.

System length

The overall system length for this type of equipment typically ranges from 1.5m to 2.5m, requiring adequate floor space.

Conveyor height

Conveyor height is commonly adjustable to align with existing production lines, typically ranging from 800mm to 1000mm.

Compliance

Units configured for BRC compliance are commonly designed to meet stringent food safety standards.
