Ongoing 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: BLF blue polyethylene (for -73 to +27C) with antibacterial protection; BHF blue polypropylene (for +4 to +104C) with antibacterial protection; and BSF blue acetal (for -40 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 a detectable and wear-resistant material.
Interest in this material has grown.
Amongst others, the vegetable and bakery industry are applying this technology either in new or existing installations.
Metal-detectable materials are protected as standard with the Microban antibacterial additive.
The 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 as follows.
* 505 series (sideflexing 0.5in pitch belt).
* 1255 series (sideflexing 1.25in pitch belt).
* 1500 series (straight running 15mm pitch belt).
* 1000 series (straight running 1in pitch belt).
* 2010 series (straight running 2in pitch belt).
Please consult the technical support department at ECC for application calculations.
ECC's Detectamet metal-detectable materials comply with FDA regulations and are suitable for direct food contact.
