3-A Diary Compliance
European Union Regulation (EU) 10/2011
FDA and USDA Complaint
Industries
✓ Meat Processing
✓ Pasta / Dough Processing
✓ Dairy Production
✓ Fruit Juice Manufacturing
✓ Filling / Bottling
✓ Cheese Processing
✓ Sweet Processing
Key Material Properties
Improved wear resulting in less breakage of highly stressed plastic parts in production and process equipment.
Material additives allow detection of very small (27 mm3 and bigger) particles via metal detectors
Key Benefits
Improved safety supported by food contact compliant and metal detectable plastic materials with FDA and
EU food regulation approvals
Reduced contamination of food, resulting in less related costs and reduced financial and image risk
Longer productive periods and lower maintenance costs
