HellermannTyton - Food industry: perfect solutions for cabling
HellermannTyton offers innovative solutions for the food industry: from detectable cable ties through easy-to-clean PVC protective tubing to corrosion-resistant marker plates.
In the non-enclosed areas of food production, it is advisable to use raw materials that are easy to retrieve. HellermannTyton has detectable plastic and stainless steel components in its range for this purpose. These make a contribution to quality assurance, especially when working according to HACCP standards. Detectable components support you in realizing an HACCP concept.
Clear requirements for high demands
Those who produce food have high requirements for the production process. This is why these components comply with REACH Directive (EC) 1907/2006 and are free of DEHP (Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phtalat), a plasticizer considered harmful.
Safety in the food industry
MCT/MCTS ties are detectable by metal pigments or stainless steel particles. At the time when new machines are implemented or production lines are modified, many cables and pipes need to be bundled. Then it is advisable to be on the safe side:
cable ties from the MCT series are manufactured from a special polyamide compound, which is completely coated with metallic pigments. Thus, even small breakage parts can be detected, should they unexpectedly find their way into the production process. Contamination with plastic parts can thus be drastically reduced. The relevant part from production can be identified and sorted out immediately, the ideal solution for the food industry. Not entirely surprising, as the MCT series was developed in close cooperation with major food producers.
In addition to the standard MCT series, HellermannTyton also offers the MCTS series, particularly suitable for use in saline solutions or environments. In these belts, stainless steel is therefore used as a pigment.
Important for your quality assurance in the food industry:
- Supports you in realizing an HACCP concept.
- Even small break parts can be detected
- Contamination with small plastic parts is virtually excluded
- Variant MCTS is particularly suitable for salty environments with high humidity
