Fortress Stealth Ferrous-in-Foil Retract Metal Detector (REFURBISHED) Left-to-Right (1207)

• Detecting ferrous metal contaminants within foil-packed food products, such as ready meals or frozen goods.
• Ensuring compliance with retail standards (e.g., M&S) for product safety and quality.
• Used in production lines for bakery, confectionery, dairy, meat, and packaged food sectors.
• Protecting consumers and brand reputation by preventing contaminated products from reaching the market.

Detection Technology

Ferrous-in-Foil (FIF) technology, specifically designed to ignore non-ferrous packaging while detecting ferrous metals.

Typical Aperture Size

For this class of equipment, a head aperture of approximately 565mm (width) x 160mm (height) is common.

Conveyor System Length

System lengths commonly range from 1,800mm to 2,500mm, with this unit being 2,100mm.

Conveyor Height

Typically adjustable, but commonly set around 800mm to 950mm to integrate with existing production lines.

Reject Mechanism

Retracting belt systems are common for gentle rejection of products into a secure bin, limiting product damage and trapping.

Power Supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard single-phase industrial supply, typically 230V, 50Hz.

Product Storage

Many modern units feature FRAM storage for multiple product settings, commonly up to 10 or more.

• What does 'Ferrous-in-Foil' mean?

  Ferrous-in-Foil (FIF) technology allows the metal detector to specifically identify ferrous (magnetic) metals, such as iron or steel, even when the product is packaged in aluminium foil or other non-ferrous materials that would typically trigger a standard metal detector.

• Why is a retracting belt reject mechanism beneficial?

• Is this unit suitable for both fresh and frozen products?

• What does 'M&S compliant' signify?

• Can this metal detector be integrated into an existing production line?

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.
