Dual Lane Combi Doubles Down on Dairy Inspection Waste

Receiving shredded cheese pouches directly from a dual head bagger, the bold design unlocks substantial space and cost savings for the busy dairy plant.

Offering a customized solution that no other food inspection company could come close to in performance attributes, the twin lane conveyor configuration, consolidates a single Fortress metal detector uniquely divided into two apertures and two independent weight verification Raptor check weighers for optimised quality control. Each technology and lane has its own air blast reject mechanism to isolate metal contaminants and weight rejects, helping to reduce and minimise good product being wasted by over 50 percent. Measuring just 10ft in length, Fortress also integrated a radius conveyor into the metal detector infeed.

For the producer of some of the world’s most iconic cheese brands, compromising on metal detection sensitivity was not an option. Highlighting the benefits of the multiaperture metal detector concept European commercial manager Jodie Curry expands: “The high-spec Fortress multi-aperture system was engineered specifically to ensure that that there was no trade-off in terms of performance and metal detection sensitivity. One of the key benefits of a twin aperture system is the halving of waste caused by rejects.”
