Allplastik GmbH from Germany‘s Württemberg region has produced more than three billion Blitzbinder cable ties since the company was founded in 1953. In 2012 the company developed its detectable Allplastik-Blitzbinder cable ties. These are made of a high quality base plastic with added metallic filling material. These metal components ensure detectability in detectors which are capable of identifying even the smallest fragments of these products (compliant with FDA requirements as well as Guideline 2000/72/EC and Directive (EU) No. 10/2011.)
As such, the detectable Allplastik-Blitzbinder® cable ties are particularly ideal for ensuring safety and the absence of fragments and residues in food production and medical equipment, two industries where this is a major consideration.
Allplastik-Blitzbinder® cable ties are highly resistant and durable. But every material eventually reaches the end of its life-cycle and can become brittle. Fragments or splinters can then land in the food products. While this could have catastrophic consequences with conventional plastic products, this problem is eliminated with the detectable Allplastik-Blitzbinder® cable ties.
The Allplastik-Blitzbinder® cable ties can be reliably detected by metal detectors and x-rays. Standard industry detectors recognize material residue during the course of standardized processes, preventing contaminated products from entering the market and minimizing the possibility of subsequent costs from product recalls and bad publicity.
The Allplastik-Blitzbinder® cable ties are optimally calibrated with the way in which the most common metal detectors work. Allplastik offers its customers individual consultation for specific applications.
