Vepo Cheese, a Dutch cheesemaker that serves both national and international markets, recently chose Fortress Technology to upgrade its inspection process and introduce a more fail-safe solution for its growing production demands. The company outlined high performance, future-proofing and an independent reject system on each line as key criteria for new equipment in its Oudewater, Netherlands-based factory.
Vepo first examined Fortress’ Stealth system — approaching Dutch manufacturer Jansen Control Systems to design the compact incline inspection lines, each integrated with a vertical packaging machine. However, the company soon realized the increased sensitivity of the Fortress Interceptor metal detector and the advantages it could bring for cheese applications.
