ABB Inc. Detectable Cable Ties Ty-Rap Detectable

Because Secret Ingredients Aren’t Always a Good Thing. Avoid Unpleasant Surprises with Ty-Rap® Detectable Cable Ties. When you were six, you were thrilled to find the secret decoder ring at the bottom of the cereal box. But since then, you probably don’t think of hidden surprises in food as a good thing. And if you’re employed in food, beverage or pharmaceutical processing, the last thing you want is a consumer finding the trimmed-off end of a cable tie packaged in with your product. In fact, some manufacturing plants in industries sensitive to contamination have banned the use of nylon cable ties in their manufacturing plants, because standard nylon can pass unnoticed through metal detectors, x-ray equipment and standard visual detection systems. Now, there’s an alternative to potentially contaminating your product with standard nylon cable ties or paying for expensive stainless steel fasteners. Ty-Rap® Detectable Cable Ties are made from standard nylon or polypropylene, but incorporate a unique, patent-pending compound detectable by metal detectors and x-ray equipment. Their bright blue color makes them easy to spot, and the polypropylene version is buoyant, making it ideal for use in liquid processing areas. Detectable by: • Metal detectors • X-ray equipment • Visual detection systems
