Another food metal inspection ‘world first’ from Fortress Fortress Technology has launched nothing else on the market comes close a high value and high market image, for yet another food inspection world to the Interceptor DF when looking for example steak burgers, Parma ham and breakthrough - a metal detector that thin, non-spherical metal contaminants in Parmesan cheese. Rather than scanning inspects low profile, high value products products,” claims Phil. a select number of frequencies, the vertically and horizontally concurrently to achieve the highest sensitivity on the planet. Believed to be the first ever multi- orientation, multi-scan food metal detector, the Interceptor DF is especially conveyor-style metal detector inspects raw, cooked and packaged products using multiple field directions. The Interceptor DF (Divergent Field) is sensitive to very thin metal contaminant To increase food safety, the Interceptor a result of the company’s longstanding flakes and foils that are difficult to detect DF system addresses several previous expertise in metal detection and its more on low profile foods, including chocolate, limitations - notably orientation, size, recent development of the two channel, confectionery, nutrition bars, cookies and geometry and position of metals. It’s two frequency Interceptor range. “The biscuits. especially reliable at detecting very thin ability to choose the direction of the inspection field is itself ground-breaking,” says Fortress European Managing Director Phil Brown. “Performance wise, 8 FDPP - www.fdpp.co.uk The Interceptor DF can also be used to inspect small thin packages of conductive products like cheese and deli-meats with flakes and foils that could be introduced to premium foods in the mixing, rolling, cooking, scoring, moulding, slicing or baking processes.
