Food safety with detectable compounds

With TECACOMP ID Ensinger offers reliably detectable compounds that are suitable for use in food production.
  

Application scenarios for detectable Compounds in food industry

 

  • Detectable cable ties
  • Moulds for confectionery production
  • Production aids such as scoops and knives
  • Articles such as cutting boards and pens
  • Components in production facilities that may come into contact with food
  • Transport boxes and conveyor belts 

Advantages of detectable Compounds

The big advantage of using detectable materials is the quality assurance in the food industry 

  • Safety from unwanted residues in the food
  • Safety from damage to the brand image
  • Safety from incalculable follow-up costs in the event of recalls 
  • X-ray detectable and metal detectable.

Prevention instead of risk – our safety package  

We have developed a Detect Kit to be able to test the actual detectability in the real process with real products. Various combinations of particle size and filling level are shown on the cards.

The results of the live tests serve as a basis for selecting the appropriate compound formulation.
