Fortress Phantom Metal Detector

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards and regulations.
• Protecting downstream processing machinery from damage caused by metal foreign objects.
• Used in bakeries, confectioneries, meat processing, and ready meal production lines.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed; units of this class can process hundreds to thousands of items per minute.

Power supply

Commonly 230V, single-phase, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements varying by model.

Construction material

Typically full stainless steel construction, suitable for washdown environments in food processing.

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, sensitivity is typically high, capable of detecting very small metal particles, though exact levels depend on aperture size and product effect.

Control interface

Often features a user-friendly HMI (Human Machine Interface) for programming and monitoring.

Rejection mechanism

This unit features a belt stop and alarm, a common rejection method for certain product types.
