Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Plastic Measuring Spoon Sets

Measure ingredients for your food processing line. To help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs, these spoons contain metal and chemical additives that make them set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines. They’re also bright blue, so workers can easily spot broken pieces that fall into your line. Made of polypropylene, they’re lighter than metal spoons and won’t scratch surfaces. These spoons are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Dust Pans

Blue

Red

Keep food processing areas tidy with these dust pans—they have metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on an X-ray if they fall into your line. They’re also brightly colored, so it’s easy to find and retrieve any broken pieces. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to make sure contaminated food doesn’t leave your plant. These FDA-compliant dust pans also are safe for direct contact with food.

The curved handle is more ergonomic than straight handles, and helps prevent hand fatigue. A retention ridge on the front edge of the dust pan stops dust and debris from falling out once you’ve swept it in.

Food Industry Shovels

A (Blue)

A (Green)

A (Red)

Scoop and lift materials in your food-processing facility. Designed for use in a sanitary environment, these shovels are easy to clean and won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners.

Plastic shovels are much lighter than stainless steel shovels, which reduces fatigue during extended use. Unlike stainless steel, they won’t scratch surfaces. The single-piece construction has no seams where bacteria can grow. These shovels come in a variety of colors, which you can use to color-code specific lines or areas in your plant as part of a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) program. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Metal-detectable plastic shovels have a metal additive that sets off metal detectors if a piece breaks off and falls into your line, so contaminated food won’t leave your plant. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs.
