With more than a decade of sales achieved, Eriez FDA-compliant PolyMag Additives are now widely used by molders around the world for imparting metal detectability, x-ray contrast and magnetic susceptibility into plastic tools used in the food manufacturing process which have the potential to make their way into food products. Growers, packers and food processors are utilizing their existing metal detectors and x-ray inspection systems with detectable plastics to prevent plastic-contaminated foods from reaching consumers, effectively preventing costly recalls and ensuring compliance with ever-increasing government safety standards.
According to Eriez PolyMag Business Manager John Collins, the company commonly supplies the additives to molders of ear plugs, safety glasses, machinery covers, pens, returnable plastic containers, pallets, scoops, scrapers, labels, tags, gaskets, O-rings, conveyor belting, bucket elevators and more.
