On-going developments in food safety regulations require higher standards in the food processing industry.
Therefore ECC/Detectamet offers metal detectable materials for dry, frozen or wet environments to meet these high standards.
Available metal detectable materials are as follows.
* BLF blue polyethylene (for -73C to +27C) with antibacterial protection.
* BHF blue polypropylene (for +4C to +104C) with antibacterial protection.
* BSF blue acetal (for -40C to +60C) with antibacterial protection.
In 2001 the process was started with the development of metal detectable materials as a standard application for a potato plant.
The harsh environment in this industry resulted in detectable and wear resistant solutions.
Interest in this material has grown.
Amongst other sectors, the vegetable and bakery industry are applying this technology either in new or existing installations.
Metal detectable materials are standard protected with Microban antibacterial protection.
The incorporated Microban ensures improved hygiene, especially between regular cleaning operations and production start-up.
Metal detectable materials with active protection against food poisoning bacteria and fungi are important developments in a total food safety program.
Detectamet metal detectable materials are available in.
* 505 series o sideflexing 0.5'' pitch belt.
* 1255 series o sideflexing 1.25'' pitch belt.
* 1500 series o straight running 15mm pitch belt.
* 1000 series o straight running 1'' pitch belt.
* 2010 series o straight running 2'' pitch belt.
Please consult our Technical Support department for application calculations.
ECC/Detectamet metal detectable materials comply with FDA regulations and are suitable for direct food contact.
