Metal Detectable Cable Ties
Metal detectable cable ties, also known as detectable cable ties, food safe cable ties, or metal detectable zip ties, are specialised fastening solutions designed specifically for food, pharmaceutical and chemical processing industries in the UK. These innovative cable ties contain metal particles dispersed evenly throughout their nylon construction, enabling detection by standard metal detection and X-ray equipment commonly used in food production facilities. The primary purpose of these ties is to prevent foreign object contamination in food products whilst providing reliable cable management and securing capabilities. These food grade cable ties are extensively used across UK food manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, dairy processing, bakery operations and chemical processing plants where HACCP compliance and food safety standards are paramount.
Our metal detectable cable ties are available in various sizes and materials, manufactured from UL approved Nylon 66 with UL94V-2 flammability rating, ensuring both safety and performance in demanding industrial environments.
