The IP69K certification confirms that Fortress metal detectors are built exceptionally rugged to meet the demands of the harshest production environments by withstanding the most severe conditions.
The stainless steel Phantom detector also achieves vibration immunity and ultimate stability in wet product applications with the Fortress unique heavy duty BSH construction.
The Phantom detector, constructed in stainless steel with an epoxy chute, utilises powerful digital signal processing to provide faster, more accurate detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including non magnetic stainless steel in food processing and packaging applications.
Detectors are also available in an epoxy coated aluminium casing, suitable for dry production environments.
Where required Fortress offers the convenient all-in-one detection solution of an integrated conveyor system to accommodate the metal detector and realise the full potential of Phantom technology.
