Entry Level Detector Grows as Retailer Demands Change

Fortress Technology has just re-launched its flagship entry-level Phantom metal detector so that when future production requirements and retailer codes of practice demands, it can be upgraded to include the data capture specifications in the company's Stealth model. Developed for new food manufacturers, SMEs and companies in emerging markets, the Phantom range offers robust metal detection functionality and quality assurance in a fit-for-purpose, reliable way. By rationalising some of the technology options previously available, Phantom users pay for the features they need to satisfy local and international food safety standards at a price point that suits their budget.

Yet, by sticking to a universal modular design and introducing a common membrane panel, all Fortress customers benefit from being able to upgrade to a Stealth model's level of performance to meet the most stringent UK retailer codes of practice when it is demanded.

Suitable for inspecting bakery, meat, dairy, confectionery, fresh, ambient, chilled and frozen food, healthcare and packaged products including any items with aluminium foil packaging, the Phantom can be installed in a conveyor, gravity, pipeline, bulk or laboratory configuration.

Although upgrades to existing Phantom operating systems are available for the lifetime of the machine, this is the first time Fortress has offered customers the option to add features from another model in its range.
