The Safety Knife Company has developed a new metal detectable polypropylene knife body specifically for the food and pharmaceutical industries. The material can be detected and rejected by typical detection machines and is X-ray visible. Pieces as small as 1/16” have been tested and detected.
The Fish 600M is designed for use in food manufacturing and distribution where hygiene is critical. Because the F600M is injection molded with completely enclosed surgical stainless steel blades, and sealed to prevent bacterial growth, risk of contamination is greatly reduced, the company said.
The Fish 600M has a wide range of cutting applications, from netting and string around processed meats to vacuum packs in frozen foods, to plastic bags, strapping, corrigated, and deli meat casings.
