    Metal-Detectable Cable Ties

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Cable Ties. Metal-Detectable Cable Ties.
    Find these ties quickly if they fall into your line. They’re brightly colored and contain a compound that can be picked up by metal detectors and X-ray machines. Use to bundle cables where you can’t risk contamination, such as food-processing areas.
    Nylon—Wear resistant for long life, these ties are the go-to for most applications. However, they can swell and weaken from moisture, so they’re best for dry environments.
    Polypropylene—Resist most acids, alcohols, and salts. Polypropylene ties are more flexible than nylon.

    Adjustable Metal-Detectable Cable Ties

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Cable Ties. Adjustable Metal-Detectable Cable Ties.
    Cinch cables with reusable ties you can track down if they fall into your line. Commonly used in food-processing areas, they’re bright blue and contain a compound that metal detectors and X-ray machines will pick up. Convenient when you want to make changes or create a temporary hold, press the tab to release.
    Squeeze Release—The easiest ties to release but take up the most space. You can press the tab with just a thumb, so these are ideal when you’re wearing gloves or only have one free hand.
    Nylon—Wear resistant for long life, these ties are the go-to for most applications. However, they can swell and weaken from moisture, so they’re best for dry environments.

    Metal-Detectable Cable Tie Mounts

    Use these plastic mounts with metal-detector-grade cable ties when detection and retrieval is essential, such as in food processing applications. Mounts are brightly colored for visibility and contain a special compound that can be picked up by X-ray equipment and metal detectors.
    Adhesive Back—Adhesive-back mounts stick to any clean, smooth surface. All components are FDA compliant.
    Two Way—Two-way mounts allow ties to be inserted from opposite sides.
    Four Way—Four-way mounts allow ties to be inserted from any side.

    Seal valves, latches, containers, and other devices with these traceable, tamper-evident seals, which are designed for food, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary environments. They contain metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-rays if any part of them falls into your line. Use them to help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to make sure contaminated food doesn’t leave your plant. Available in a variety of colors for color-coding the different lines and areas of your plant, they help you follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
    These seals cinch tight like cable ties and have a pull tab to remove them without tools. They’re stamped with the message "SEALED" and numbered sequentially, which helps you track if any seals have been tampered with. Not offered blank for security reasons.
