Tethering Food Processing Tools for Safety and Compliance

Ametek’s well-known stainless steel reels from the ROTA-REELs line are commonly used to tether food processing tools (such as shovels, knives, and scrapers), ensuring they remain at their designated workstations.

These reels also help prevent tools from accidentally falling into hoppers or containers, which is crucial in avoiding contamination. If a tool were to fall in and go unnoticed, it could be carried through food processing equipment - such as cutters, choppers, or mixers - potentially damaging the machinery and introducing foreign objects into the food product.
