Detectamet Detectable Products Ltd.

Detectamet Ltd is an ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001 and ISO 18001 accredited company. Its key focus is the design, manufacture and supply of X-ray and metal detectable products to the food and pharmaceutical industries. Established 11 years ago it is now a market leading company offering its extensive range of patent protected products globally.

Detectamet tools and products are used by many leading food producers that specify them to for incorporation into their GMP and HACCP management systems. They can then demonstrate due diligence in their protection of the consumers of their products.

It is a basic requirement of GFSI approved food safety certification schemes that detection systems are in place to prevent the production and distribution of physically contaminated products. Detectamet detectable products are designed to replace their non-detectable equivalents used in food process areas. Many non-detectable products have been 'lost' and later found by consumers when they have eaten the food causing loss of reputation and expensive product recalls.

In addition to the tried and tested detectable products Detectamet is continually developing new and innovative solutions with nearly two dozen in the past 18 months. These provide answers to the challenges of reducing the risks of foreign body contamination in food and pharmaceutical products.

The Detectamet range of over 180 designs includes products based on metal detectable plastics, stainless steels and aluminium. The company also supplies engineering companies with machinable detectable plastics that can be used to manufacture parts fitted into food processing machinery.
