Metal and X-ray detectable Detecta-pen

Tuesday, 10 July, 2012 | Supplied by: WR&D Wells Pty Ltd


To minimise the risk of foreign matter entering the food chain, WR&D Wells has developed the Detecta-pen. The retractable pen is food grade and made of shatterproof metal-detectable plastic. A range of ink and pen colours is available.

Wells claims that using the pen may reduce the risk of small particles entering the food chain, should the product fall into ingredients or a blending machine, as all components are detectable.

For bakery environments where buttery or oily surfaces can make writing difficult, a pressurised or felt-tipped pen is available. The Detecta-pen Ice Pen has been designed for use in very cold conditions and is claimed to work in sub-zero conditions.

Other detectable pen products such as highlighters, permanent markers, whiteboard markers and steel pens are available.

The pens are manufactured using an X-detect compound plastic. The plastic is both metal detectable and of a sufficient density to be X-ray detectable.
