Fortress Technology, a manufacture of metal detector systems, is introducing new Metal Detector Test Wands. Testing metal detectors on a frequent basis is an important part of all food safety plans. These test wands were developed after listening to their customers, who expressed the need to have easily identifiable, durable, and hygienic test pieces.
Fortress’s new test wands are made from impact-resistant and shatter-proof polycarbonate and have a smooth, sleek hygienic design to avoid food traps and for easy cleaning the company said. Additionally, they have a large, easy-grip paddle to ease insertion and removal from food, or to lay flat on packaged products. The colored polycarbonate indicates the metal sphere type and markings are clearly etched using a fiber laser, which will not fade overtime. The company manufactures the wands itself, so is offering them for $10 less than its previous model.
In conjunction with the new test wands, Fortress is launching its test sample e-commerce store, shopfti.fortresstechnology.com. The most popular types of test samples are available, and other new types of test samples currently in development will be added as they become available.
