FORTRESS Technology will be showcasing the Icon X-ray system at PPMA Total Show in Birmingham later this month.
Described as ‘robust and easy to clean’, the solution is designed to enhance consumer safety and contaminant detection in hygienic food processing facilities.
The system can also be fully integrated with a Fortress Raptor checkweigher. Installed at the end of production lines, features include the option to add internal view cameras and Vyper Vision label inspection, as well as an integrated automatic reject device.
The IA+ algorithm developed by Fortress Technology’s X-ray specialists enables the machine to adapt to variable density products that present with metal, ceramic, glass, and high-density plastic contaminants. Sanitation features include bevelled surfaces to promote water runoff, ‘easily removable’ magnetic X-ray curtains, a ‘quick release’ tight-fitting conveyor, and IP69k-rated sensors.
Processors can select from either internal cameras or optional transparent high-density windows on the sliding access panels to monitor product status and address bottlenecks. The self-contained stainless steel cabinet means no additional shielding or guarding is required to meet X-ray exposure requirements.
Data integration and reporting is included in the standard Icon X-ray package. The option of communication adapters enables users to customise data collection.
