FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this scraper really detectable by metal detector or X-rays?
   Yes. The model is made of polypropylene with a specific additive that makes it detectable by both metal detectors and X-ray systems. It is recommended to check its detectability during first use with a suitable kit.
2. Can it be used in direct contact with food?
   Yes. This product complies with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on materials intended for food contact, is FDA approved (CFR 21), and complies with UK Regulation 2019 No 704.
3. What are the exact dimensions of the blade?
   The length is approximately 165 mm, the width 92 mm, and the thickness 2 mm.
4. Is it suitable for very cold or very hot production areas?
   Yes, the scraper can be used from -20°C. For use in food contact areas, the maximum operating temperature is approximately 100°C. For cleaning (dishwasher), it can withstand temperatures up to 83°C.
5. What is the purpose of offering it in different colors?
   The different colors (green, blue, red, white, yellow) allow management by zone / process (cold zone, hot zone, packaging zone, non-product zone…) and help to avoid cross-contamination.
6. How do I maintain this tool?
   After use, rinse and disinfect the tool according to internal procedures. It is recommended to regularly check the condition of the blade (wear, deformation) and replace it if necessary. Store in a clean, dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or UV rays.
