Products in the food and pharmaceutical industry should not contain particles of other materials accidentally ingested during the manufacturing process. Contamination during the manufacturing process can lead to serious damage to equipment, product recalls and, in the worst case, damage to customers. The result: high costs and a potential loss of reputation that should not be underestimated. To avoid this, manufacturers must use special equipment that detects metal. If a small piece of plastic from a safety knife is made of metal detectable plastic, it can be detected in a metal scanner or X-ray machine and removed from the final product.
