why choose detectamet is a youthful and innovative company established in 2003 with enthusiasm and foresight in abundance we are able to offer our customers what we believe to be the largest range of detectable products in the world our key focus is the design manufacture and development of detectable products bringing both tried and tested concepts along with new ideas to the market place detectamettmltd is iso 9001:2008 accredited the approved quality management systems apply to the following the design and manufacture of metal detectable products respiratory hearing protection and other related products certificate number gb 18600 mission statement we pride ourselves in offering what we believe is a service second to none to the global market coupled with our commitment to quality and innovation in design for our wide range of detectable products personal protective equipment and stationary items we are proud of and pioneering in our proactive approach to the ongoing changes in industry we strive to build on our strengths as a group of companies allowing us to expand our current markets and continuously explore new opportunities who needs detectamet detectable products within many industries today there is an ever-present risk of product contamination from foreign objects if these remain undetected they can result in damage to equipment costs incurred through product recalls harm to the company s reputation and in the worst case serious injury to somebody inadvertently coming into contact with the contaminant these industries include the food industry human and animal beverage pharmaceutical cosmetics textiles and many others are you protecting your customers statistics show that the food beverage and pharmaceutical industries are most at risk from foreign body contamination issues due to consumers who may inadvertently ingest foreign matter within a finished product consumer complaints are a constant problem for most food companies and so prevention and control should be high on the list of priorities for quality and technical managers with support from product development purchasing distribution etc the law states that food fails to comply with food safety requirements if it is unsafe for human consumption or it is so contaminated whether by extraneous or otherwise that is would not be reasonable to expect it to be used for human consumption in that state section 8 2 b c of the food safety act 1990 it is intended that the more risk-based and flexible procedures will better match the needs of individual businesses and enforcement agencies this is facilitated by the introduction of food safety management procedures based on the application of hazard analysis and critical control points haccp principles haccp-based principles are widely regarded throughout the eu and in most developed countries as crucial to the management of food safety and in turn consumer protection on 1 january 2006 it became a legal requirement for all food businesses except primary producers to put in place implement and maintain a permanent procedure or procedures based on haccp principles the law allows defences for all reasonable precautions and all due diligence when a company may be faced with a prosecution for a foreign body complaint quality assurance detectamet offer materials and products that have been developed to help industry comply with new global regulations to protect consumers and employees detectamet products give manufacturer s the opportunity to use cost-effective functional ergonomic implements that are suitable for use in industrial environments and approved for food contact use a key feature of the products manufactured from these materials is that fragments are detected and rejected by standard in-process metal detection and x-ray equipment all our products are tested and meet current eu legislation along with other international requirements full data sheets msds are available for all our products and all come with certificate of conformity 4

how detectable are we detectable products are made from various non metallic materials those that offer the best capabilities for food applications that cannot always use a metal alternative these products are often specified by industry in alternative materials as they are most suited to the applications however standard non-detectable implements can present serious risk of foreign body product contamination detectamet products are made with a proportion of a metallic magnetic trace element which is present through out the whole object this is at a size and concentration that allows a homogeneous flow throughout ensuring that all parts are potentially detectable by metal detection systems but without changing the physical properties of the object other products have a metallic strip etc bound to the product x-ray machines have an advantage over metal detectors in being able to detect a wider range of foreign bodies this is because the foreign body must be significantly different from the food or other material in x-ray density in order to be detected in practice an x-ray machine will be able to detect items such as glass metal stones bone and some denser plastics for example pvc however standard plastic films paper cardboard wood insects string or fruit stones will not be picked up detectamet super-x x-ray visible plastic has been developed to work in conjunction with metal detection and x-ray detection systems using an x-ray visible trace element which is present throughout the whole object and increases its density therefore allowing detection of foreign body contamination to the end of the production line detectamet products are all detectable but there will be a cut off point this will not be systematic for all customers and indeed for all machines/lines or sites there is no 100 guarantee of zero risk with any detectable products even metal have you ever considered why small pieces of metal are able to get into production lines there will always be a limit as to at what point the detectamet material or any detectable material will stop being detected if using an x-ray machine the density of the product you are manufacturing must be less than the foreign object matter if you are using a metal detector the cut off point will generally be when the metal content in the object is smaller than the settings you are using at this point any metal foreign object will pass through your system metal detection systems are a safeguard to a point calibration of the metal/x-ray detection system should always be done with care and according to the guidelines of the manufacturer a test is always recommended before production to determine the detective sensitivity metal detection and x-ray detection is not a precise science machines may be very accurate high tech and high specification instruments but there are many variable s to consider type of food or product · size · · density packaging · · type of metal in the contaminant speed and orientation of the metal · · detector settings · sensitivity and age to name the most common ones contrary to the rule many detectamet products will be detected in general better within a wet environment rather than dry but will achieve good results to implement into haccp for all areas manual inspection should not be forgotten all detectable products come in bright blue as standard but are available in a range of high visibility colours not commonly found in food products or our colour coding can be used to identify areas of high risk or shift patterns lost or found ask yourself this important question by what percentage am i now safeguarding my customers if you have a non metal detectable pen you have 100 chance of facing an issue caused by the potential of a lost pen if you have a detectamet pen which can detect to a piece as small as 5mm then you have a 95 chance that lost pen will be found remember that detectamet products show that you are using all due diligence and you have taken the best precautions available please contact us direct if you are experiencing and problems with the detection of our products and we will be happy to offer you our advice and assistance 5

metal detection results showing variables purpose of this report this report has been compiled as a summary to the samples supplied for testing and to establish the spherical equivalent for the samples in both wet and dry modes of operation on the detector tests carried out tests were carried out on a phantom 350mm x 200mm operating at 150khz with the dry phase set at 90.83 typical dry set up and wet phase set at 2.19 typical wet set up and in both cases the sensitivity has been set to 100 results sample ref big single plaster small single plaster small o ring large o ring equivalent sample size in dry mode fe 2.5mm fe 2.0mm fe 1.5mm fe 3.5mm fe equivalent sample size in wet modefe 1.5mm fe 2.5mm fe 4.5mm fe 7.0mm fe explanation it is probably best to give an example to explain the results above example 1 your customer is running oats as a product and as a result the detector would run dry if your customer is currently working to a sensitivity of 2.0mm fe he would be able to detect the following · small plaster · big plaster · large o ring example 2 your customer is running chilled meat as a product and as a result the detector would run wet if your customer is currently working to a sensitivity of 2.0mm fe he would be able to detect the following · small plaster · small o ring · large o ring note there is a slight anomaly related to the plasters as we would expect the larger plaster to exhibit larger effects but the reverse is being demonstrated this we believe is down to the small plaster having two types of additive to make it both x-ray and metal detectable 6

x-ray detection results showing variables product tests were carried out on our range of detectable products using our x-ray equipment at mt safeline ltd we can now advise you of our test results as follows the tests were carried out using a safeline advanchek x-ray system the sample x-ray visible plasters were presented on the conveyor belt in their `worst case orientation which means they would give the least signal level to equate them to a spherical metal test standard if the plasters are presented differently or in a way as if they became detached from the wearers hand then the signal levels can become greater they may become more easily detected 3 flange earplug these products gave a detection level equivalent to that of a 1.5mm s/s spherical ball when presented to the x-ray system in their worst case orientation this is a good result these products should be detected in most applications if a detection spec of 1.5mm s/s or smaller is achievable for the customer s products disposable earplug these products gave a detection level equivalent to that of a 2.0mm s/s spherical ball when presented to the x-ray system in their worst case orientation this is a good result these products should be detected in most applications if a detection spec of 2.0mm s/s or smaller is achievable for the customer s products beard snood hair net these products gave a detection level equivalent to that of a 1.5mm s/s spherical ball when presented to the x-ray system in their worst case orientation this is a good result these products should be detected in most applications if a detection spec of 1.5mm s/s or smaller is achievable for the customer s products here are some of the images of plastic that i tested in our glass line x-ray the results were very exciting and quite clear images from the machine we were able to reliably detect down to a 3mm piece i have sent this the presentation you sent through on to the head of quality these images were taken at 550 jars per minute on a quad beam x-ray i firstly tried the plastic in water then on the smallest piece i actually had it in the product seafood sauce to really test out the plastic s limits jars are 250 gram of 1.5mm wall thickness 7
