In a food processing environments where waste and contamination is of concern, cut resistant food gloves undergo strict laundering procedures so gloves remain sterilised to meet local food handling regulations. During the laundering cycle, cut resistant food gloves are exposed to detergents, chemicals, UV light, water and drying temperatures impacting yarn and fibre behaviour. After multiple laundering, yarn and fibre strength are compromised impacting cut performance and exposing workers to blade risk and injury.
The BLADE CUT5 food glove range from Armour Safety addresses all these industry concerns by introducing technologies that extend cut performance after multiple laundering improving cycle rates, reducing costs and increasing protection.

Many food processing facilities have little or no records on the amount of time an item is laundered. For a product to conform with manufacturers performance recommendations and stay within food handling standards, the amount of times an item is laundered needs to be recorded TRACK E otherwise product overuse occurs and the risk of contamination or injury increases. Inserting RFID chips into food handling garments is the perfect way to record garment laundering cycle counts to protect workers and finish product.
