Standard Detectors “ Superior detection of all metal types in the harshest of environments.
The Fortress Phantom Metal Detector utilises the latest Digital Signal Processing technology to ensure complete product integrity. With the highest processing power Phantom systems are renowned for their superior accuracy, high-speed and ease-of-use.
Phantom detectors are offered in a wide range of aperture sizes with a selection of construction options including painted aluminium, stainless steel, and BSH (IP69K certified). The rectangular aperture units are suited for integration with conveyor belts. We recommend our custom-designed conveyor systems built specifically for the metal detection application in order to optimize the performance of the detector.

Ferrous In Foil Detectors - Metal detection within aluminium foil packaging.
The Phantom In-Foil Metal Detector is utilised to detect ferrous metals such as iron and steel in products packaged in foil e.g. ready meals in foil trays. The Phantom In-Foil Metal Detector can be combined with our conveyor systems to provide a complete metal detection system incorporating automatic reject and satisfying BRC standards.
Available with BSH Extra-Rugged IP69K certified casing for the most resilient performance under harsh conditions such as wash-down. The system is able to identify ferrous contaminants despite the presence of aluminium foil packaging.
Large Bag Systems

Unmatched Sensitivity for Large Bags.
Large Bag Detectors - Unmatched Sensitivity for Large Bags.
The incomparable "Big Bag Unit" from Fortress sets an untouchable industry standard for sensitivity levels. Achieving 2.0mm stainless steel in 25 - 50 Kg bags of dry product. The system also detects ferrous and non-ferrous metal as small as 1.5 mm.
Traditionally, larger aperture sizes mean reduced sensitivity in the world of metal detection. However, the Phantom Large Bag system defies this law by using a specialised coil structure. It also includes a noise reduction modification that dramatically reduces the detector's susceptibility to RF interference.
The Large Bag metal detector is offered in conjunction with an integrated conveyor system as an "all-in-one" detection solution.
Conveyor systems

Conveyor systems - Standard & custom solutions.
In order to maximise the performance of a metal detector it must be mounted on a well designed high quality conveyor. We offer a range of standard and custom solutions in both modular and PU/PVC. We can do straight running, curved, incline/decline, closed or open top, plain or flighted, fixed or mobile. By custom building the conveyor to suit your line you can often save costs compared to modifying your line to suit the metal detector.
We supply a full range of automatic reject systems e.g. air blast, air pusher (Standard & overhead rodless), twin bin, reject to decline roller track, retracting band, drop flap etc... For those requiring systems manufactured to retail standards e.g. the British Retail Consortium (BRC), Marks and Spencer's (M and S), or Tesco we can provide full compliance. We have also worked with large groups who wish to develop their own standards. Our conveyors are manufactured in a start of the art manufacturing facility. Each system is CE marked and engraved with a unique reference to aid fast delivery of spares when required.
In addition to metal detector conveyors we can supply a wide range of conveyors for materials handling i.e. modular, PU/PVC, wire belt, slat top, powered & gravity roller conveyor as well as Lazy Susans.

For dry, powdery or granular free-flowing products.
Gravity Detectors - For dry, powdery or granular free-flowing products.
Phantom Gravity metal detector systems are designed to detect metal contamination in dry, powdery or granular free-flowing products that can be gravity fed through a pipe.
Systems are available in Aluminium or Stainless Steel casing with a selection of pipe sizes. The Diverter Valve reject system is typically used to divert contaminated product into a reject tank.
A test ball retrieval drawer is offered as an option allowing for easy manual testing. For added convenience a wired mountable remote control is ideal for installations in which the detector unit is not easily accessible.
