Fortress Technology system combines metal detecting, checkweighing

A new option from Fortress Technology allows customers to combine metal detectors and checkweighers into an integrated system.

The Raptor Combination System’s metal detector, conveyor and reject device operate independently of the checkweigher status, according to a news release.

The system processes at 150 parts per million, helping to decrease production costs while providing food safety and weight compliance for packers and food processors, according to a news release.

The machine also helps save floor space by using opposing, rather than sequential, rejects, according to the company.

In addition, the Raptor provides live and historical batch statistics and optional communication adapters for customized data collection.
