Fortress Technology Unveils Automatic Testing System for Meat Pump Metal Detector

November 14, 2024

It is crucial to verify the performance of meat pump pipeline metal detectors. Addressing this need, Fortress Technology’s newest inspection and verification test solution, the Halo Automatic Testing system for the Meat Pump Metal Detector, is hygienic and accurate, reducing the risk of human error by greatly reducing the need to manually insert and retrieve test balls from a closed pipeline.

Utilized to prevent metal contaminants reaching the packaging stage, the Fortress Meat Pump Metal Detector features a removable ultra-hygienic plastic scanning pipe constructed from food-safe Delrin. IP69K-rated and compliant with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations, the Meat Pump Pipeline System comes with customized wrenches stored on the machine to enable operators on meat and poultry processing lines to loosen and tighten the pipe’s threads without the risk of damaging the equipment. Additionally, a unique rail mounted reject valve and a motorized lift support quicker maintenance, reducing sanitation times and addressing ergonomic staff risks.

Fortress Technology now builds every metal detector to be “Halo Ready,” and processors can activate automatic testing when their facility is ready to adopt this digital solution. Halo Automatic Testing can be combined with Fortress Technology’s Contact 4.0 reporting software, which connects and reports data from multiple networked metal detectors and other Fortress inspection equipment on the factory floor.
