Contamination risk reduced

Leading food-grade lubricants manufacturer Rocol has introduced innovative caps and actuators on aerosol spray cans in the Foodlube range to help reduce the risk of foreign object contamination during food and drink processing.

Building on its long-standing NSF registration for Foodlube and its corporate ISO 21469 certification, both of which offer crucial safety assurances about lubricant formulation, the company has now become the first in the UK to add Detex metal detectable plastic actuators and caps on all aerosol cans. This means that all caps and actuators on Foodlube packs can be identified using standard metal detection equipment should they become loose in food and drink processing areas.

The Detex caps and actuators are manufactured from safe materials deemed acceptable by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in food processing plants.
