Fortress PHANTOM Metal Detector Head 350x175

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product integrity in pharmaceutical manufacturing lines.
• Quality control for non-food items such as textiles or plastics.
• Protecting downstream machinery from metal damage in processing lines.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of metal detector is highly dependent on product speed and size, but units are commonly integrated into high-speed lines.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard single-phase industrial supply, typically 200-240V, 50/60Hz.

Detection sensitivity

Detection sensitivity is application-specific, influenced by product effect and contaminant type, but Fortress Phantom units are known for high sensitivity across various metals.

Operating frequency

Metal detectors in this category often operate at a single frequency or multiple frequencies, selected based on the product being inspected to optimise detection.

Construction materials

Typically, the head unit features robust construction, often stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments in food or pharmaceutical settings.

Integration

These heads are designed for integration into existing conveyor systems or processing lines, often requiring custom mounting solutions.

• 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 will vary based on the product and setup.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• Can this metal detector be integrated with an existing conveyor system?

• What is 'product effect' and how does it impact detection?

• Does this unit come with a reject mechanism?

Metal detectors for food processing are regarded as essential safety equipment by buyers. Industry sentiment emphasizes their reliability in detecting ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants. When purchasing used units, buyers typically prioritize sensitivity settings, calibration history, and ease of integration with existing production lines. Common strengths include durability, consistent performance across varying product types, and straightforward maintenance requirements. Buyers value models offering clear documentation and documented regular servicing records.
