Following installation of a Vertex Metal Detector from specialist, Fortress Technology, Whitby Seafoods, based in North Yorkshire, has announced a 30% increase in its productivity. Currently inspecting up to 2,000 kilos per hour of sea food products, a figure that is set to increase in the near future to between 2,500 and 3,000 kilos, the Vertex is situated between a multihead weigher and vertical form fill seal machine for inspection of free-falling product. Patrick Thomas, projects co-ordinator at Whitby Seafoods says: “The Fortress machine runs like a dream and has revolutionised our packaging and control processes, and it has paid for itself already.”
