    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 Blade—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.
    Style B—The handle on Style B shovels is reinforced with aluminum for added strength and angled to reduce back strain while lifting.
    Metal Detectable—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.

    Sanitary Pulling Forks

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rakes. Sanitary Pulling Forks, Straight Handle.

    Straight Handle

    Rake food products in bulk. Compliant with NSF or FDA standards for use with food, these forks are often used to empty large containers in food-processing facilities. All are autoclavable and resist corrosion from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners.
    Pulling forks have downward-bent tines for raking and dragging.
    Polypropylene—Forks with polypropylene tines are lightweight, reducing the effort needed to scoop or rake. They have a single-molded design that leaves no room for bacteria to grow. They won’t scratch stainless steel equipment in your facility, and they’re commonly used with delicate foods such as grapes or peaches. These forks are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
    Straight Handle—Forks with a straight handle have shallow, easy-to-clean threads that reduce the risk of bacteria growth. The handle threads tightly into the head to minimize loosening.

    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.
