3M E-A-Rsoft Metal Detectable Earplugs AV - Food Industry Certified

Specifically developed for the food industry where preventing product contamination is critical. These earplugs feature an implanted stainless steel ball bearing for metal detection while delivering superior 32 dB noise reduction.

Critical Protection for Food Processing:

In food processing environments, even a lost earplug can compromise an entire production batch. The E-A-Rsoft AV earplugs are recognized by most metal-sensing systems, helping you maintain strict quality control and food safety standards.

Key Features:

• Metal Detectable Plug: Implanted stainless steel ball bearing in earplug for detection by metal sensing systems
• Important Note: Standard cord (NOT metal detectable) - earplug itself is detectable
• Superior Protection: 32 dB NRR - one of the highest noise reduction ratings available
• Hygienic Packaging: Poly bag keeps each pair clean before use
• Universal Fit: Regular size fits most ear canals
• Test Compatible: Works with E-A-Rfit Validation System for compliance verification

Why Metal Detection Matters:

Food safety regulations require strict foreign object controls. If an earplug is lost during production, metal detection systems can identify it before the product reaches consumers, protecting both your customers and your brand reputation.

Ideal For:

• Food & Beverage Processing
• Meat & Poultry Processing
• Dairy Production
• Bakery Operations
• Any food manufacturing environment requiring foreign object detection

Product Specifications:

Compliance & Safety:

3M recommends reducing the NRR by 50% for estimating actual noise reduction if you don't fit test earplugs with a system like E-A-Rfit. This ensures realistic protection estimates for your hearing conservation program.
