Danger recognized, danger averted - the detectable products from norelem are quickly and reliably tracked down by detection systems and create safety in the production process, especially in the particularly sensitive food or pharmaceutical industry. Failures or complaints can thus be significantly reduced.



Unfortunately, it is not always possible to completely avoid small splinters from used components of the production machines getting into the manufacturing process. In most cases, it is only the consumers who discover the fault, and the food or other products have to be recalled at great expense. The manufacturer is not only threatened by high costs, but often also by an enormous loss of image. Early detection of foreign bodies therefore plays an important role, especially in food processing and in sensitive areas of the pharmaceutical industry.


Function and application of detectable products

norelem has developed easily detectable operating parts and standard elements made of plastic. Thanks to this special plastic, possible fragments can be quickly and reliably tracked down (detected) by the corresponding detection equipment. The detectable products from norelem meet the highest hygiene, quality and safety requirements of the manufacturing industry. They are therefore used in particular in equipment and plants in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and packaging industries. norelem offers these operating and standard elements in two versions: visual-detectable and metal-detectable. They are made of food-grade materials (glass-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic and stainless steel).


Visually-detectable operating elements and standard elements

The products with visual detectability are made of an ultramarine blue plastic. Here, the color plays the decisive role: there are usually no blue food products, so unwanted fragments of damaged operating parts or standard elements stand out on the product surface due to their color. They can be easily detected by the human eye as well as by various optical monitoring systems.



Metal-detectable operating parts and standard elements

Metal detectors work very reliably and are among the most frequently used equipment for the detection of contaminated food. The metal detectable products from norelem are made of a special FDA compliant plastic. This material is magnetic and therefore easily detectable by metal detectors. Even plastic fragments as small as 3 mm³, which can get inside the food to be processed, are reliably detected by induction technology and automatically ejected. This also eliminates the need for disposal of the entire production quantity or time-consuming retrieval operations.
