Gough Engineering has manufactured materials handling equipment for the foods industry for over seventy years and with the increasing levels of hygienic regulations, food processors need to take every precaution available to ensure product integrity.
The plastic buckets used in elevators are in direct contact with food prior to packaging, if those buckets become damaged in any way, fragments can contaminate the process. As a result, a requirement has arisen that all plastic parts which could come into contact with food are both detectable, as well as food-contact approved. The metal detectable plastic will help food manufacturers with strict hygiene regulations and can help prevent costly recalls of contaminated food.
This works in line with metal detectors commonly found in a majority of food and beverage production lines.
