Increase Metal Detection Productivity at PPMA 2026

On Stand E36, Fortress Technology will present a compact, productive and compliant food production microcosm. See four interconnected, high performance food metal detectors working together, rejecting contaminated products, sharing data and weighing packages in total synergy
The new Fortress Technology Raptor Tritek features metal detection, checkweighing and label inspection to enhance productivity in the smallest footprint.
Showcased for the first time at a UK exhibition, the Raptor Tritek is a 3-in-1 combination system that features metal detection, checkweighing and label inspection vision technologies in a single easyclean frame. Designed to improve TCO and OEE, it ensures food manufacturers maintain rigorous food safety compliance all-daylong, by prioritising metal detection on every pack. All in the smallest possible inspection footprint.

Demonstrating the inspection of large format applications weighing up to 25kg is the Fortress Technology Big Bag Combination System. Integrating metal detection and case weighing in one unit, this easy-touse and ergonomic system handles bulky products effortlessly without slowing production lines. The system on show measures less than 1.7 metres without its heavy-duty reject conveyor( approx. 2.5 metres with).
Rather than requiring separate machines for each stage of the inspection process, these intelligent Metal Detector / Checkweighing Combination systems can work side by side and talk seamlessly with each other using Industry 4.0 connectivity and automated data reporting. This helps to streamline quality control, improve user safety and minimise human errors.
