Metal Detectable Products: Fighting Accidental Contamination

In both food processing and the pharmaceutical industry, metal detectable products are a key ingredient in a program to fight batch contamination in the production process. Metal detectables are the choice of companies following HACCP , GMP and Six Sigma programs, and are a cornerstone of any effort to reduce foreign object contamination and eliminate costly recalls or expensive litigation.

Metal Detectable Products Are Better Than Solid Metal

CK Safety metal-detectible plastic products outperform solid metal tools in cost, usability and process control. A unique molding process impregnates a detectable metallic additive equally across every square millimeter of the item’s composition, assuring that even small fragments will be readily sensed by metal detection or X ray devices. Look at any of our items closely, and you can literally see the presence of impregnation protection.

Metal Detectable Denefits: Affordable Performance
The use of metal detectabl tools, protective equipment and supplies will yield a food or pharma manufacturer several valuable benefits when compared to traditional products:

• Plastic lightness minimizes user fatigue, maximizing productivity
• Lower cost than solid metal tools makes affordable switchovers possible
• Easy sanitation with solid molded, easily disinfected or autoclavable designs
• Color variety creates greater options for color coding in process control
