Antimicrobial Cable Ties for Food and Pharma Industry

The costs associated with recalls and related production downtime can be devastating for a business. Therefore, we are introducing a product line that, with minimal effort, can reduce potentially harmful incidents in production. The antibacterial, detectable nylon cable ties can easily be identified with scanning equipment and are embedded with an antibacterial agent, which has been independently lab-tested to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi on the surface of the cable tie in accordance with ISO 22196:2019 and ASTM G21-15 standards.

Three-Part Defense Against Contamination:

• A combination of antimicrobial technology, metal detectability, and a distinctive blue color ensures a clean and safe production environment.
• Enables rapid identification and removal of foreign bodies, costly waste, and recalls.
• HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) – a systematic preventive approach to food and pharmaceutical product safety that focuses on risk prevention rather than inspection of finished products. (Mandated by the FDA)

Antimicrobial Protection:

• Contains a proven antimicrobial agent.
• Independently lab-tested to inhibit the growth of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms on the product's surface according to ISO 22196 and ASTM G21-15 standards.

Metal Detectability for Increased Safety:

• The incorporation of metal detectable properties aids compliance with the Food and Drug Administration's HACCP regulations.
• Easily identifiable using metal detectors, minimizing the risk of foreign materials entering the production process.

High Visibility for Quick Identification:

• A vivid blue color ensures high visibility in production areas.
• Prevents cross-contamination, ensures compliance with safety regulations, and reduces operational downtime.

At Følsgaard, we work together with our customers to select and create the most rational and value-adding solutions, not least for food and pharmaceutical production.
