Detectamet's Fully Detectable Pen Refills

Detectamet's long established reputation of detectable innovation is consistanly providing food and pharmaceutical producers with a way to push towards complete control of open product areas, with the goal of eliminating contamination by foreign bodies.

The latest new development is the introduction of the patent pending fully detectable ink refill which is now being incorporated exclusively into Detectamet's range of Metal Detectable Pens.

The complete ink cartridge, both the body and the end stop, are now made from our proven Metal Detectable and X-Ray Visible Plastic. This makes the whole of the pen detectable by foreign-body detection equipment by eliminating the end stop which is commonly made from non-detectable plastic.

With the introduction of thefully detectable plastic ink refill, Detectamet's range of detectable pens are the only pens available that can claim to be fully detectable by foreign-body detection equipment.

Fully Detectable Pen Refill

"Pens used in open product areas shall be controlled to minimise the risk of physical contamination (e.g. designed without small parts and detectable by foreign-body detection equipment)".
