Fortress Technology Inc., a global leader in the manufacture of metal detector systems, has introduced its new Metal Detector Test Wands.

Because testing metal detectors on a frequent basis is an important part of all food safety plans, these test wands were developed by Fortress Technology after listening to their customers, who expressed the need to have easily identifiable, durable and hygienic test pieces.

“Our customers requested test wands that were clearly identifiable and would not shatter when dropped,” says Fortress Technology marketing manager Kelly Sharpe. “So, we set about designing and manufacturing a test wand that would satisfy these needs and more. By manufacturing ourselves we are able to keep our costs low, and so, we are very pleased to offer these superior test wands for $10 less than our previous model.”

The new Test Wands (see image above) from Fortress are made from impact-resistant and shatter-proof polycarbonate, have a smooth sleek hygienic design to avoid food traps and for easy cleaning. 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 most popular types of test samples are currently available, and other new types of test samples currently in development will be added as they become available.

“We’re excited to launch our e-commerce store,” says Sharpe. “This site is a natural extension of our Never Obsolete commitment that we offer our customers.”
