UNEX 2249DT Metal & X-ray Detectable Cable Tie, 4.8 x 370 mm, Azure Blue, 100-Pack

In food processing, pharmaceutical, and other sensitive manufacturing environments, a lost plastic fragment can halt production, trigger costly recalls, or compromise safety. Standard cable ties are nearly invisible to metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems, creating a serious contamination risk. The UNEX 2249DT detectable cable tie solves this problem by integrating stainless steel particles into the polyamide 6.6 material, making it fully detectable by both metal and X-ray equipment. Its azure blue color provides high visual contrast against most production backgrounds, allowing quick visual checks and easy identification as a detectable product.

Who is it for

This cable tie is engineered for quality assurance managers, maintenance teams, and production supervisors in food and beverage plants, pharmaceutical facilities, chemical processing, and any operation where HACCP or similar contamination control protocols are mandatory. It is also suitable for bundling cables, hoses, or components in cleanrooms and other controlled environments where foreign object prevention is critical.

Main features

• Metal detectable and X-ray detectable: embedded stainless steel particles ensure reliable detection by standard inspection systems.
• High visibility azure blue (RAL 5009 equivalent) for rapid visual identification and separation from non-detectable ties.
• Robust construction: 4.8 mm width and 370 mm length provide a secure grip for bundles up to 102 mm in diameter.
• Strong tensile strength: minimum loop tensile strength of 220 N (approx. 22 kg) holds bundles firmly under normal conditions.
• Durable material: polyamide 6.6 (PA66) with stainless steel particles offers excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance.
• Self-locking head: standard pawl mechanism ensures fast, one-handed installation and a reliable hold.
• Wide temperature range: suitable for operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, with installation recommended between -10°C and +60°C.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant and meets HACCP guidelines for food contact environments; halogen-free and silicone-free.
• Pack size: 100 pieces per pack for convenient inventory management.

Tips

For optimal detection, ensure your metal detector or X-ray system is calibrated for the specific size and density of the stainless steel particles used in these ties. Store ties in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity. When bundling in high-temperature areas, verify that the ambient temperature does not exceed 85°C for extended periods. Use a tensioning tool for consistent and secure fastening, especially in high-vibration environments.
