General
Colour	Blue Metalise Mde

The cable tie 185/46 SL MDE-C from Ses-Sterling is a detectable fastening element for use in sensitive production environments. It features a blue metallic surface, which contains embedded metal particles to enable detection by metal or X-ray detectors. This property makes it particularly suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries, where product contamination by foreign objects must be prevented. The cable ties comply with the requirements of HACCP guidelines, which apply to hygiene and safety standards in food processing. Additionally, they are halogen-free and meet the requirements of the RoHS directive, which prohibits the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Detectability is the central feature of this cable tie. The metal particles in the plastic matrix ensure that the cable tie can be detected during production control using metal or X-ray detectors. This is crucial for identifying accidentally broken or detached parts during the production process, thereby ensuring product quality and safety. The blue metallic Mde colour supports visual differentiation in operation, especially in environments where multiple types of cable ties are used.

Applications include primarily food processing, the pharmaceutical industry, and other sectors where hygiene and safety standards play a central role. The cable ties are designed for securing cables, conduits, hoses, and other components in production facilities. Their use in environments with high hygiene requirements is supported by the halogen-free composition and RoHS compliance, which exclude the use of harmful materials.

Functions and features in detail include the special material composition with metal particles, which ensures detectability. The cable ties are made from a robust plastic suitable for securing cables and conduits. The packaging contains 100 pieces, which is suitable for efficient storage and use in industrial applications. The weight specification of 1.35 g per piece allows for precise planning of material consumption costs.

Technology explained simply means that the metal particles in the plastic matrix not only enable detectability but also provide visual identification. The blue metallic colour supports identification in operation, especially in environments with multiple cable tie types. The halogen-free composition reduces the risk of toxic fumes in case of heat or fire, which is advantageous in sensitive production environments.

Compatibility and accessories refers to use in existing production facilities that employ metal or X-ray detectors for quality control. The cable ties are not specifically designed for particular accessories, but for general fastening in hygienic environments. Their use in combination with other detectable components is possible, provided the respective requirements of the production environment are met.

Installation and mounting proceed as with conventional cable ties: the cable ties are looped around the object to be secured, pulled through the eyelet, and locked with the closure mechanism. The fastening is achieved via the integrated ratchet system, ensuring a secure connection. Installation requires no special tools and can be performed by skilled personnel in electrical and IT trades.

Operational advantages lie in the high safety provided by detectability, which enhances product quality and safety. The halogen-free composition and RoHS compliance support compliance with environmental and safety regulations. The packaging of 100 pieces enables efficient storage and use in industrial applications. The blue metallic colour supports visual differentiation in operation.

The cable ties are not designed for use in explosive environments or at extreme temperatures, unless specified in the technical data. The exact application depends on the specific requirements of the respective production environment. Use is exclusively within the described applications and standards.
