Fortress - Fortis Plus Metal Detector (NEW) Right-to-Left (U2105)

• Detecting metal contaminants in bulk bakery products such as bread, cakes, and pastries.
• Ensuring safety and quality in processed meats, poultry, and fish products.
• Inspecting cereals, grains, nuts, and snack foods for foreign object detection.
• Quality control for confectionery, dairy, and fruit & vegetable processing lines.
• Used in packaged food lines to detect contaminants before final sealing.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product density and belt speed, typically handling high volumes of bulk product.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase electrical supply, often 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Footprint

A system length of around 1,650mm is typical for this configuration, with conveyor heights commonly around 850mm.

Detection capabilities

Modern metal detectors typically detect ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel contaminants using advanced DSP technology.

Belt width

Conveyor belt widths for bulk product inspection commonly range, with 450mm being a frequent size for this type of unit.

Environmental rating

Many industrial metal detectors are designed to meet IP ratings suitable for washdown environments in food processing.

Product memory

Units commonly feature memory for storing multiple product recipes, typically up to 10 or more, to facilitate quick changeovers.

Compliance

Equipment in this category is often designed to assist with BRC compliance and other food safety standards.
