Detectamet releases heavy-duty mixing tool

The new detectable plastic stirrer with long handle and scraping edge is designed to be a tough and durable mixing tool that is easy to clean and virtually unbreakable. It is over 410mm (16”) long and the 155mm (6”) ‘secure grip’ handle makes it easier to use in wet environments. The 40mm (1? ") wide plastic chisel edge is intended to push/scrape the sides of mixing bowls without damaging surfaces and equipment. A choice of two shapes means that users can select a solid bladed stirrer or a blade with holes to suit a variety of mixing tasks.

These practical tools from Detectamet  have a number of important food safety benefits. All tools used in food processing are potential hazards, but these Detectamet plastic stirrers can be incorporated into HACCP management systems because typical metal detection machines used in the food processing industry can detect them. So losses or breakages can be identified within the food producer’s systems before the food is sent out to the stores.

The choice of colours can help to reduce cross contamination dangers by fitting into shift, location or product colour coding schemes. The special plastic material used to make the stirrers is based on a food safe polypropylene that has been approved against EU regulations (2002/72/EU) for materials in contact with food.
