Product Information
Full details
Designed specifically for food processing, handling, and packaging environments, the Pro Elec Metal Detectable Cable Ties are an essential security solution for businesses requiring strict contamination prevention. These 100mm nylon ties provide robust fastening capabilities while remaining easily identifiable by standard metal detection inspection equipment, ensuring complete safety compliance. While they offer excellent detectability, users should note that the maximum bundle diameter is limited to 20.5mm, making them unsuitable for securing larger conduits or thick bundles of wiring.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these ties suitable for outdoor use?
These ties are primarily designed for indoor food processing environments. Extended exposure to UV rays and extreme weather may affect the long-term durability of the nylon.
What is the maximum bundle diameter?
The maximum bundle diameter is 20.5mm.
Can these be reused?
No, these are single-use cable ties. They must be cut for removal and should not be re-fastened.
Why are they blue?
The blue color is chosen because it is not a naturally occurring color in most food products, making the ties highly visible during visual inspection processes.
Do they meet industry safety standards?
Yes, they feature a UL 94V-2 flammability rating, making them suitable for use in environments with strict safety and fire compliance requirements.
What is the tensile strength?
These ties have a minimum loop tensile strength of 18lb.
Troubleshooting
Tie does not lock securely
Ensure the ratchet head is free of debris and that the tie is being pulled straight through the head rather than at an angle.
Detector failing to pick up tie fragments
Verify the sensitivity settings of your specific metal detection system and perform a test using a known piece of the cable tie to ensure the system detects it correctly.
Tie breaks during installation
Check if the bundle exceeds the 20.5mm diameter limit or if sharp edges on the mounting surface are cutting the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces risk of product recall due to contamination
- Highly visible blue color aids in visual inspection
- Complies with industrial food safety protocols
- Strong, durable construction for secure fastening
Cons
- Maximum bundle diameter is restricted to 20.5mm
- Not intended for heavy-duty structural bundling
- Single-use design requires cutting for removal
Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Installation: Insert the pointed end into the locking head and pull until the tie is snug against the bundle. Use a flush-cut tool to remove the excess tail for a clean finish.
- Compatibility: Compatible with standard industrial metal detection systems. Ensure your specific machinery sensitivity settings are calibrated to detect these specific nylon compounds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature nylon embrittlement. Keep sealed in original packaging until required for use.
- Handling: Avoid over-stretching the tie beyond its rated capacity to maintain the structural integrity of the metal particles embedded within.
