Magnetically Detectable Products

Contamination of food products by items used during the manufacturing process entering the mix by accident can result in large costs being incurred. Costs arise through scrapping of large quantities of product if the contamination incident is identified in house through standard inspection, product recalls and possible litigation if the item is consumed. In addition business can be lost as a result of lost reputation and questions arising over the safety of food products By making use of magnetically detectable products from TBA these costs and problems can be avoided. TBA’ Protective Solutions magnetically detectable products can be detected by conventional metal detection systems, therefore broken components made from TBA materials can be detected and rejected. The Benefits • Use of detectable products demonstrates "all due diligence" • Smaller quantities of material scrapped • Reduced cost of reject • Reduced risk of contaminants being consumed • Can be used as part of HACCP process Products TBA manufacture a range of magnetically detectable thermoplastic compounds, the range is sufficient to allow the production of the majority of items used in a food factory to be manufactured in detectable form. As well as having magnetic properties all TBA compounds are manufactured in non-food blue to provide an element of visual detectability as well. Products include magnetically detectable spoons, magnetically detectable jugs, magnetically detectable mats.
