Automated metal detector verification

All of the supplier’s metal detectors are now “Halo Ready,” the company’s latest automated machine verification checks, a shift away from manual performance verifications. Halo Automatic Testing can be combined with the company’s Contact 4.0 reporting software, which connects and reports data from multiple networked metal detectors and other Fortress inspection equipment on the factory floor. The technology provides versatility, reliability, precision and speed, as well as the benefits of digitizing paper-based systems.

Cardboard-plastic cup is recyclable

The K3 cup is a cardboard-plastic combination offering practical benefits, sustainability and an attractive appearance. The cardboard wrap provides stability, allowing the cup to be made with thin walls, significantly reducing plastic content. Also, the cup and wrap can be easily detached, and are therefore 100% recyclable when separated and disposed of by the consumer. The cardboard wrap can be printed on both sides and custom-finished for maximum visual appeal. Window cutouts can also be incorporated in the cardboard wrap to give consumers a first glimpse of the product inside.
