Metal Detectable & X-Ray Visible Products by Detectamet

Detectamet Ltd is an ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 accredited company. Its key focus is the design, manufacture and supply of X-ray and metal detectable products to the food and pharmaceutical industries. Established 11 years ago it is now a market leading company offering its extensive range of patent protected designs globally.

Detectamet tools and equipment are used by many leading food producers that specify them in order to strengthen their GMP and HACCP management systems. They can then demonstrate due diligence in their protection of their customers and consumers.

It is a basic requirement of GFSI approved food safety certification schemes that detection systems are in place to prevent the production and distribution of physically contaminated products. Detectamet tools, equipment and materials are designed to replace their non-detectable equivalents used in food process areas. Many of these items have been 'lost in process' and later found by consumers when they have eaten the contaminated food causing loss of reputation and expensive recall of the food packs.

In addition to the tried and tested detectable equipment Detectamet is continually developing new and innovative solutions with nearly two dozen in the past 18 months. These provide answers to the challenges of reducing the risks of foreign body contamination in food and pharmaceutical products.

The Company range of over 180 designs includes tools and accessories based on metal detectable plastics, stainless steels and aluminium. The company also supplies engineering companies with machinable detectable plastics that can be used to manufacture parts fitted into food processing machinery.
