Fortress Technology - Fortress Technology - Stealth Metal Detector

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry standards prior to dispatch.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from damage caused by metal foreign bodies.
• Used in bakeries, confectionery, meat processing, and ready meal production lines.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed; for this class of equipment, it can typically handle several hundred items per minute.

Power supply

Commonly 230V, single-phase, 50Hz, suitable for UK industrial environments.

Footprint

Units of this type typically have a compact design, with the conveyor length being the primary determinant of overall footprint.

Detection sensitivity

High sensitivity is typical for modern industrial metal detectors, capable of detecting very small metal particles.

Conveyor belt material

Often food-grade plastic or modular belting, designed for hygiene and durability.

Reject system

Commonly features an automatic reject system, such as a 'stop on detect' with audible alarm, or a pneumatic push arm for higher speed lines.
