In food, beverage and pharmaceutical plants, a stray cable tie or snipped tail is a foreign-material risk if it ends up in product. The Techspan L-840MD6C is an 8.875 in, 40 lb metal detectable cable tie in teal nylon, made to be picked up by a line's metal detector and to stand out visually. It comes in bags of 100 for plant electricians and maintenance crews.
Why plant maintenance crews pick it
- Metal detectable material that Techspan states complies with the compositional requirements of US FDA regulations for direct food contact (21 CFR 177.1500 and 21 CFR 184.1375).
- Teal colour is easy to spot against food products and equipment.
- 40 lb tensile strength for sensor leads, small cable bundles and hose.
- Bundles up to 2.375 in diameter.

Pro tip from the counter
Detection is only half of a foreign-material program. Issue these from a counted bin, cut tails off with flush cutters into a container rather than onto the floor, and have the crew account for the ties and tails before the line restarts after maintenance.
Best for: food and beverage processing lines, pharmaceutical and cosmetic plants, bakery and meat plant maintenance, HACCP-audited facilities
