Interceptor metal detectors save pork producer’s bacon
Four Interceptor metal detectors from Fortress Technology has enabled a North American pork producer to meet its new fast-food customer’s tough requirements for accurately and reliably inspecting high volumes of bacon. Thanks to the Interceptor’s increased sensitivity and simultaneous multi-frequency innovation, the producer has not only satisfied its client’s stringent food safety specifications, it has also eliminated false rejects by isolating product effect.
When a leading pork producer won a new contract with a major fast-food chain, investment in a higher-quality metal detection system was crucial to meeting its client’s exacting standards. The company’s existing inspection equipment was struggling to cope with the notorious product effect common with challenging meat products that are wet and highly conductive.
