Tom Parker Ltd, an authorised distributor of CEJN products to the UK fluid power market for over 50 years, is thrilled to launch the new 208 Detect FDA-approved blow gun. A groundbreaking innovation in the food and beverage industry, this compressed air blow gun will reduce the risk of accidental contamination, product rejections, expensive recalls, and waste.
The food and beverage industry constantly evolves, and strict standards are essential for protection. Food safety systems have identified foreign body contamination as one of the main risks in the production process. Shockingly, metal and plastic are two of our food’s most common physical contaminants.
To counteract this problem and enhance food and beverage processes, CEJN has created a revolutionary new product. The 208 Detect compressed air blow gun is the first X-ray-detectable plastic blow gun on the global market. Made of 100% food-grade plastic, it is detectable by metal detectors and X-ray systems, helping to eradicate contamination during production and packaging.
Complete Protection
The 208 Detect is manufactured from food-grade plastic (compliant with Reg. (EC) No. 1935/2004 and FDA CFR 21.170-199) and has food-grade (NSF H1) seals on the valves (compliant with Reg. (EC) No. 1935/2004 and FDA 21.177.2600), ensuring there is no chance of contamination if it accidentally encounters food. Even if the 208 Detect bow gun is accidentally dropped into a production line, crushed, or destroyed, users can rest assured that the components will still be detected.
Metal detectors can still detect tiny plastic fragments from the blow gun, making a significant difference in food production processes and preventing foreign objects from entering food products. The 208 Detect blow gun’s detectable plastic enables plastic pieces as small as 2×2 mm* to be detected in metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems and is compliant with many global food regulations, including HACCP, IFS, BRC, and GFSI standards like FSSC 22000.
The 208 Detect blow gun’s metal and X-ray detection dramatically minimises the risk of product contamination and waste in production, making it a game-changer in the food and beverage industry. All parts are detectable in metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems, ensuring high food safety in production and minimising the risk of product rejections, expensive recalls, and unnecessary food waste.
Developed for Improved Safety
The CEJN 208 Detect blow gun features stainless steel AISI 303 (1.4305) valves that resist corrosion, high temperatures, and chemicals. In the food and beverage industry, cleaning production equipment several times a day is crucial to maintaining stringent levels of hygiene. CEJN has designed the 208 Detect blow gun with plastic that can withstand frequent cleaning and disinfection chemicals typically used in food processing and manufacturing plants.
In addition to being detectable, the 208 Detect blow gun boasts the same impressive features as the standard CEJN 208 blow gun, including high blowing force, precise flow control and a lightweight and ergonomic design. In addition, the CEJN detect blow gun has impressive technical specifications, including a maximum working pressure of 232 psi, a minimum burst pressure of 928 psi, a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, a flow capacity measured at 87 psi inlet pressure, and a pressure drop of 7 psi.
Tom Parker Ltd offers a diverse selection of CEJN blow guns, ranging from a high-visibility 209 safety blow gun to the MultiFLOW, a premium gun that can be used for air and fluid applications. The MultiFLOW has many features, including high blowing force and adjustable beam and flow. Additionally, it comes equipped with removable nozzles, with the option of OSHA-compliant safety nozzles.
