Fortress Technology

Fortress Technology is a food inspection equipment manufacturer founded in 1996 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with production facilities also in the United Kingdom, Brazil and New Zealand. The company sells metal detection, checkweighing and X-ray inspection systems to food and consumer goods manufacturers that need to catch physical contaminants and comply with weight legislation on their production lines.

Its product range spans the Stealth line of metal detectors, Raptor checkweighers, Icon X-ray inspection systems and combination units that merge detection with weighing on one conveyor. The HALO automatic testing system checks detector performance without operator intervention, while Contact 4.0 software collects inspection data for reporting and traceability across a plant’s production lines.

1. Stealth metal detectors: catch ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel contaminants in food products.

2. Raptor checkweighers: verify pack weight in line with legal metrology requirements.

3. Icon X-ray inspection: detects contaminants and checks fill level or product integrity in sealed packaging.

4. HALO automatic testing: validates detector performance on schedule without manual test samples.

5. Contact 4.0 data collection: logs inspection results for compliance reporting and trend analysis.

6. Never Obsolete program: keeps installed equipment upgradable instead of requiring full replacement.
