Detectable products from norelem

Food processing - but safe

Danger recognized, danger averted - norelem's detectable products are quickly and securely detected by detection systems, ensuring safety in the production process, especially in the highly sensitive food or pharmaceutical industry. This significantly reduces failures or complaints.

Unfortunately, it is not always entirely avoidable that small fragments from used components of production machines enter the manufacturing process. Often, it is only the consumers who discover the error, and the food or other products must be recalled at great expense. This not only poses a considerable cost to the manufacturer but also frequently results in a significant loss of reputation. Therefore, the early detection of foreign bodies plays a crucial role, particularly in food processing and sensitive areas of the pharmaceutical industry.

Function and application of detectable products

norelem has developed easily detectable operating elements and standard components made of plastic. Thanks to this special plastic, potential fragments can be quickly and reliably detected by the corresponding detection systems. norelem's detectable products meet the highest requirements of hygiene, quality, and safety in the manufacturing industry. As a result, they are primarily used in equipment and systems of the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and packaging industries. norelem offers these operating elements and standard components in two versions: visually detectable and metal detectable. They are made from food-compliant materials (glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and stainless steel).

Visually detectable operating elements and standard components

The products with visual detectability are made of ultramarine blue plastic. Here, the color plays a crucial role: There are usually no blue foods; hence, unwanted fragments of damaged operating elements or standard components stand out due to their color on the product's surface. They can be easily recognized both by the human eye and various optical monitoring systems.

Metal detectable operating elements and standard components

Metal detectors work very reliably and are among the most commonly used systems for detecting contaminated food. norelem's metal detectable products are made of a special, FDA-compliant plastic. This material is magnetic and easily detectable by metal detectors: even plastic fragments as small as 3 mm³ that may enter the interior of the processed food are reliably detected and automatically expelled using induction technology. Thus, there is no need to dispose of the entire production quantity or conduct elaborate retrieval actions.
