Innovation in action Different to other multi-scan metal detectors on the market, the unique Fortress system uses multiple coil sets to instantaneously drive the electromagnetic fields in different directions. Rather than missing a metal contaminant because it hasn’t aligned with a specific field, the Interceptor DF looks for signals over a broad spectrum, from multiple angles. The stronger disturbance from one field compensates for the weaker signal from another. This increases the probability of identifying and rejecting products containing non-spherical metals by over These electronic records can be viewed, Several North American food factories are 100%, including difficult to spot flat metal filtered and exported, and can be used currently trialling the new system, which flakes. to supplement or replace manual is already generating a lot of positive documentation. feedback.
