The Problem
The accidental contamination of Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical products by foreign objects and debris can lead to enormous costs (both financial and in terms of brand damage) associated with expensive product recalls and any related manufacturing downtime.
The Solution
In order to mitigate against this risk, Panduit has introduced a line of Antimicrobial Metal Detectable Nylon Cable Ties and Mounts that are easily identifiable by metal detection equipment, and are embedded with an antimicrobial agent which has been independently laboratory tested to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold and fungi on the surface of the cable tie itself in accordance to ISO 22196:2019 & ASTM G21-15 standards, meeting U.S. Food and Drug Administration HACCP* standards and the European Union (EU) hygiene monitoring regulations.
The Panduit range of Antimicrobial Ties and Mounts provides a triple defense against contamination.
- Antimicrobial protection – The Panduit range of Antimicrobial ties and mounts is embedded with a proven antimicrobial agent that has been independently laboratory tested to inhibit the growth of bacteria and harmful microorganisms on the surface of the product itself in accordance with ISO 22196 and ASTM G21-15 standards.
- Metal detectability for enhanced safety - Incorporation of metal detectable properties aids in compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration HACCP. It is easily identifiable by metal detection equipment, (such as metal detectors or x-ray machines) minimising the risk of foreign material entering the production process.
- High visibility for quick identification – Panduit’s range of Antimicrobial ties come in a bold blue colour that ensures high visibility in processing environments. This high visibility signals Panduit’s commitment to cleanliness standards, preventing cross-contamination, ensuring safety compliance, and reducing downtime.
Conclusion
Panduit’s range of Antimicrobial, Metal Detectable Cable Ties and Mounts help to mitigate the risk of accidental contamination that can lead to expensive product recalls. The product meets and exceeds the most stringent of standards and provides triple protection against contamination through high visibility, metal detectability and their ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria.
