Halo is Fortress Technology’s automatic testing device. Designed to be used on gravity, pipeline and conveyor metal detectors, it challenges the least sensitive part of the metal detector aperture – the exact center - and simulates the exact product speed. 

Real-time GFSI audit and QC results are logged via Contact USB without having to physically pass and retrieve three metal test samples. Tests can be timed or manually activated. Production lines only halt if metal detector or reject checks fail. 

“Halo provides the perfect blend of inspection continuity, contaminant detection, machine performance and safety,”said Packaging Engineer Manvine Bharj from Ardent Mills. Automatic testing also improves the reliability, quality and accuracy of each and every test, as they are programmed for a specific time, and cannot be carried out retrospectively.
