Why Choose the Partex MDT200 Metal Detectable Cable Ties?
The Partex MDT200 Metal Detectable Cable Ties are specialist cable fastening and management accessories designed for environments where contamination control, cable security and product traceability are important considerations. Featuring a non-releasable locking design and distinctive blue colour, these cable ties provide a practical solution for organising electrical cables, wiring assemblies and other compatible components in industrial processing and manufacturing environments.
Each cable tie measures 200 mm long x 4.5 mm wide, offering a useful fastening size for appropriately sized cable bundles. The metal detectable design is intended to support foreign-body detection procedures in facilities equipped with suitable metal detection systems, helping businesses manage the risk of cable tie fragments entering production processes.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 100, the Partex MDT200 is particularly relevant to food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, packaging operations and other hygiene-conscious industrial environments. The blue finish provides strong visual contrast against many food products and production materials, supporting visual inspection alongside established contamination control procedures.

In food production, packaging and other contamination-sensitive industries, cable management components may need to meet additional requirements beyond conventional cable fastening. The Partex MDT200 Metal Detectable Cable Ties are designed for applications where the ability to detect potentially lost or fragmented fastening components forms part of a wider foreign-body prevention strategy.
Metal detectable cable ties incorporate detectable material intended to allow suitable industrial metal detection equipment to identify the product under appropriate operating conditions. This can provide an additional safeguard where cable ties are installed near production machinery, processing equipment or areas subject to contamination monitoring.
However, metal detectability does not guarantee that every fragment will be detected. Detection performance depends on factors such as fragment size, detector sensitivity, product characteristics, operating conditions and the configuration of the detection system. Facilities should validate detection performance using their own equipment and documented inspection procedures.
The blue colour provides an additional visual identification benefit. Blue is commonly used for detectable accessories in food processing environments because it contrasts with many food products and ingredients, making misplaced components or fragments potentially easier to recognise during visual inspection.
The combination of metal detectability and blue visual identification makes the MDT200 a useful option for facilities implementing structured foreign-body control procedures. These features complement, rather than replace, good manufacturing practices, equipment inspections and established food safety management systems.
Non-Releasable Locking for Secure Cable Fastening
The Partex MDT200 features a non-releasable locking mechanism, meaning the tie is intended to remain fastened once tightened. This makes it suitable for applications where a one-way fastening arrangement is preferred and routine reopening of the cable tie is not required.
The 200 mm length and 4.5 mm width provide a practical size for organising suitable cable bundles, electrical wiring and equipment connections. The actual maximum bundle diameter, tensile strength and recommended installation tension should be verified against the manufacturer's technical specifications.
For installation, position the cable tie around the intended bundle, feed the strap through the locking head and tighten to the appropriate tension. Avoid excessive force that could damage cable insulation or compress sensitive components. Where consistent installation tension is required, use a compatible cable tie tensioning and cutting tool.
After installation, trim the excess strap carefully and inspect the fastening point. Because the MDT200 is non-releasable, removal will normally require cutting the tie and replacing it with a new one. Use suitable cutting tools and take care not to damage the cables or equipment being secured.
Before use in food processing or other regulated environments, confirm any required food-contact suitability, material composition, temperature resistance, chemical resistance and regulatory compliance from the manufacturer's current documentation. Metal detectability alone does not establish suitability for direct food contact or all hygienic processing conditions.
