Fortress Technology - Stealth Metal Detector

• 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 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.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Industrial metal detectors like the Stealth series are designed to detect ferrous (iron), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper), and non-magnetic stainless steel contaminants.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• How is the sensitivity calibrated for different products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Can this unit 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.
