July 29, 2024

Strengthening food safety programs globally, Fortress Technology has launched a fully integrated, super-hygienic X-ray inspection system equipped with internal view cameras and an integrated automatic reject device to optimize floor space. Its powerful performance and defining attributes reflect its symbolic status and name. Get ready to view the Icon X-ray, the latest model of food inspection efficiency at Pack Expo International 2024 (south building, booth 1758). 

Steve Gidman, founder and president of Fortress Technology will unveil how the Icon X-ray is already winning over food processors with its unparalleled productivity while simultaneously reassuring consumers with exceptional contaminant detection accuracy. Discover the innovative features of this high-speed X-ray system, designed to significantly enhance processing efficiency, consumer safety and contaminant detection in high-care food production facilities. 

Inspecting and rejecting packaged chilled, baked and confectionery products, the Icon X-ray uses Fortress Technology’s proprietary IA+ algorithm. This provides unparalleled processing and detection power to adapt to variable-density products that present with metal, ceramic, glass and high- density plastic contaminants. In addition, IA+ allows for instant adaption to future machine learning features. 

Facilitating seamless user interactions, the Icon X-ray’s 10-point touch industrial capacitive touchscreen display is responsive and intuitive. The ability to swipe, zoom and easily select an instruction saves time, minimizes stoppages and increases productivity.  “The Icon is truly an inspection game changer. Especially in the new era of smarter food safety. It adds a new level of food safety and traceability no longer reserved for the most elite food brands,” Gidman said. 

The Icon X-ray is one of 16 machines being showcased by Fortress, making booth S-1758 their biggest equipment presentation in the company’s history.
