A high risk, especially for companies within the food and pharmaceutical industry: Contaminants entering the production process can lead to severe damage to machines, product recalls, and, at worst, customer injuries. The result is high costs and a potential loss of image that should not be underestimated.
For this reason, MARTOR has developed cutting tools made of metal detectable plastic (MDP knives). Ideal for all staff working in susceptible areas, especially when manual cutting in or nearby the production area.
MARTOR MDP knives and even small parts can be traced by your metal detectors and special X-ray machines. Therefore, there is hardly any risk that contaminated products will leave your production site, causing severe cost implications.
In many aspects, our metal detectable safety knives are identical to the non-MDP equivalent models. As part of the personal protective equipment, they are equipped with the same proven safety technology for reducing laceration injuries and are suitable for the same cutting materials. What is the difference, however? MARTOR MDP knives are always un-lacquered to eliminate coloured chippings and made with an exceptionally high-quality plastic developed with a professional partner from the plastics industry. Its detectability has proven itself in daily practice with countless customers.
It is important to remember that the detectability of knives, parts and particles always depends on the quality and settings of your detectors on site. We recommend our MDP test card is put through your detectors before an investment in MARTOR MDP safety knives to check their sensitivity and after at regular intervals. Please contact us if a test card is required.
