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

Believed to be the first ever multi-

The Interceptor DF (Divergent Field) is sensitive to very thin metal contaminant To increase food safety, the Interceptor

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.
