Fortress Technology provides both standard and customized equipment and software

Fortress Technology is an international leader in providing superior metal detectors. Founded in 1996, the company has expanded radically over the last two decades to become an integral part of many businesses, particularly in the food manufacturing industry. Fortress Technology has manufactured for various companies all around the world, including in Canada, the UK and Brazil. As a global enterprise, they are equipped to deal with a range of different companies and are also committed to providing customized services to their clients.

Never Obsolete

Since the early days of Fortress Technology, the company has provided both standard and customized equipment and software to their customers. While this is one aspect that allows them to stand out from the crowd, another particular bonus is that the company engineers their products with a Never Obsolete Commitment.

Technology is advancing at incredible rates across many industries, and the world of metal detection is no exception. However, while your smartphone might become obsolete from one generation to the next, Fortress Technology guarantees that all their products are manufactured in such a way that they can be updated rather than replaced as times goes by.

The company can provide new physical parts for older detectors, software upgrades and technical support. They also provide a representative to oversee the setup and installation, in addition to certified training courses. With a 30 day Satisfaction Guarantee and a warranty for two years of Parts and Labour services, customers can make a purchase without worrying that a better model will come around the next year.

Food Grade Metal Detectors

For those involved in the food manufacturing industry, Fortress’ standard line of food grade metal detectors are designed for a range of different manufacturing needs, and these machines can be customized with your requirements in mind.

Phantom Metal Detector

The Phantom Metal Detector is one of the most popular options offered by Fortress. This versatile digital metal detector can work with a variety of different products and applications. If it isn’t quite suitable for you straight out of the box, custom sizing is also available in Stainless or Painted Aluminum.

Phantom in Foil

The ‘in foil’ version of the popular Phantom metal detector is perfect for the food industry, as it can identify ferrous metal contaminants in products that are packaged in foil.

Stealth Metal Detector

The Stealth model of metal detectors is the next iteration of the Phantom model. With improved software functionality, it brings technology into the fold in the best ways, and is suitable for all recent retailer codes of practice. For instance, to satisfy record keeping needs and to simplify the process of doing so, you can capture data with a USB stick to keep track of all events and HACCP procedures.

Vector Conveyor System

The company’s conveyor system metal detectors are convenient for a large variety of food products, both packaged and unpackaged. The standard detectors can be made-to-order with multiple customizable options. This system can work with both Stealth and Phantom models of Fortress’ metal detectors.

Large Bag

Fortress Technology’s Large Bag metal detectors are designed with larger products in mind. Suitable for dry products between 50-110lbs (25-50kg), this “Big Bag King” is an industry-leader in terms of stainless steel detection in bulk-size packaging. It can even be integrated into a Vector Conveyor system, in either the Stealth or Phantom models.

Bulk Freefall

Gravity metal detectors are the perfect solution for food companies who handle bulk freeform products such as flour, rice and cereal. By feeding freefalling items into a pipe system, metal contaminants can be detected and rejected on the get-go using either the Stealth or the Phantom model of metal detectors.

Packaged Freefall

For products packed in pouches or bags, metallic or not, a freefalling detection option can be ideal. The Stealth or Phantom metal detectors have a slim Vertex system option, which can be used right before final packaging. It can be integrated with other machines like the Vertical Form Fill Seal machine, which allows for better performance.

Pipeline

Given how much of the food manufacturing industry involves liquid products, Fortress has designed some of their Stealth and Phantom metal detectors to come in a pipeline system. It’s perfect for wet unpackaged products such as liquids and pastes, although other products can be blown in through the system if necessary, such as sausage filling.

Vent Tube

For liquid or paste products that are already packaged, whether in glass or plastic bottles, the Phantom or Stealth Vent Tube solution can offer metal detecting capabilities with little fuss. It can even be linked to other equipment, so that bottles can be filled and easily monitored in an accurate manner.

Given how important the metal detection process is to the food manufacturing industry, it’s no surprise that Fortress Technology puts a significant amount of effort into their industrial metal detectors. This goes from offering client certification, continuous technical support, a Parts and Labour warranty, providing a Never Obsolete Commitment, and ensuring that a range of customizable metal detectors are available for clients so that all food products can be securely sorted and packaged. As such, you will undoubtedly have no problem identifying a high-quality, reliable metal detector for your industry’s needs. With two decades of experience and hard work, the company has earned its international reputation as being a leader in providing safe products and services for their clients.
