In view of the large number of suction cups used in the food-handling industry, it is possible for a suction cup to be damaged, with part of it dropping into the food.
Up to now, such parts could not be detected.
E-Components and Chains (ECC) has recognised this potential problem and is now introducing a Detectamet range of metal-detectable vacuum suction cups made of a food-grade-approved silicone material.
The new Detectamet de-panning suction cups are available in two grades of material designed to suit specific bakery products: hard cups for standard bread products, and soft cups for morning goods and lighter seeded products.
