208 Detect blow guns

The 208 Detect - the first metal and X-ray detectable plastic blow gun on the market

The primary focus of the food and beverage sector remains on upholding the most rigorous food safety standards. To enhance the safety of the production process, CEJN presents the 208 Detect blow gun, the first metal and X-ray detectable plastic blow gun to be introduced on the global market. This groundbreaking innovation reduces the risks of accidental contamination, product rejections, expensive re-calls, and waste.

Designed and manufactured for improved food safety

Food safety systems such as HACCP, IFS, and BRC have identified foreign body (undesirable solid objects found in food) contamination as one of the main risks in the production process, of which metals and plastic are two of the most common physical contaminants found in food. The detectable plastic of the 208 Detect blow gun enables plastic pieces as small as 2x2 mm* to be detected in metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems and is in compliance with HACCP, IFS, BRC, and GFSI standards like FSSC 22000.

*Depends on the metal detector itself and how the detector is calibrated.

Metal & X-ray detectable

All parts of the 208 Detect blow gun are detectable in both metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems, ensuring a high level of food safety in the production process. The risk of product rejections and expensive re-calls and waste are thereby minimized.

Food grade plastic

Food-grade plastic is the preferred choice when there’s a potential risk for food contact. The 208 Detect is made of food-grade plastic in compliance with Reg. (EC) No 1935/2004 and FDA CFR 21.170-199, ensuring no contamination if accidentally getting in contact with food.

Stainless steel valve with food-grade grease

The stainless steel AISI 303 (1.4305) valve has excellent resistance to both corrosion and high temperatures. Additionally, the food-grade grease (NSF H1) guarantees that any contact with food remains free from contamination.

Detectable and food-approved seals

Sometimes accidents happen. Even if the 208 Detect is crushed and destroyed and the seals on the valve fall out, you can rest assured. The food-grade seals comply with Reg. (EC) No 1935/2004 and FDA 21.177.2600, and are detectable in both metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems.

High chemical resistance

To maintain stringent hygienic standards, it’s essential to clean production equipment in the food and beverage industry multiple times a day. The plastic in the 208 Detect is resistant to common cleaning and disinfection chemicals used in food processing and manufacturing plants.

Same great features as the standard 208 blow gun

In addition to being detectable, the 208 Detect blow gun possesses the same great benefits as the standard 208 blow gun that has defined the landscape for professional blow guns: high blowing force, lightweight, ergonomic, robust design, and high precision flow control.
