Fortress ramps up wet food inspection technology offering

From:Packaging News

Fortress Technology has launched a new metal detector for food safety inspection.

The company said the ‘Interceptor’ accurately inspects wet and conductive products and helps to eliminate false rejects, making it “one of the biggest game-changers” to hit the food processing sector in recent years.

Specifically designed to tackle the longstanding challenge of high product rejects when using metal detectors to inspect meat, dairy, ready meals, bakery and fortified cereals applications, Fortress’s latest technology splits the frequency signals.

This means that the machine can clearly differentiate between the signal generated by the product as a result of moisture or mineral content and any metal contaminant, putting a stop to a potential stainless steel signal being ‘swamped’ by product effect.

Phil Brown, Fortress’s sales director, said: “Whether you are mixing batches of bread or snack ingredients or slicing and dicing wet meat, bakery and cheese products into smaller portions using wires and knives, there’s a risk of tiny fragments entering the production chain.”

For additional accuracy, Fortress’s FM Software is built into the Interceptor. This brings a predictive element to the analysis of signals.
