Launched in 2015 the BST DetectaBox® range was the world’s first detectable stackable box solution, designed to address the problem of box fragments contaminating food products. This problem can occur whenever a food storage or handing box is subject to more wear and tear than usual and is at risk of breaking or chipping.
The DetectaBox® is manufactured using xdetect®, BST’s flagship and industry renowned metal detectable and x-ray visible plastic. This plastic is designed entirely with food safety in mind. As well as being highly detectable it is also strong, hardwearing, brightly coloured, chemical resistant, shatter resistant, FDA approved, and EU complaint.
The first in the DetectaBox® range was a standard EURO size of 600x400x220, but we can also manufacture the same box in a variety of heights, as well as other standard euro boxes and plastic pallets. There’s now no reason why boxes should cause foreign body contamination in the food industry.
BST have 30 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of metal detectable and x-ray visible plastic components. Examples of bespoke projects include rubber seals, gaskets and extrusions, as well as pre-loaded vacuum bread depanner belts featuring metal detectable suction cups and retaining clips.
With a wide selection of food grade detectable raw materials to choose from, a solution to your problem is never far away.
BST Detectable Products reduce the risk of foreign body contamination in hygiene critical environments, such as food and drink, pharmaceutical or cosmetic manufacturing plants.
Preventing foreign body contamination is at the frontline of food safety and detectable products manufactured by BST not only help toward this goal but also comply with international regulations and complement a company's HACCP systems.
