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.
