X-Ray and Metal Detectable Seals
Metal Detectable products provide confidence to food, dairy and beverage manufacturers by insuring product safety and integrity as outlined by the Food Safety Modernization Act.
As a result of excessive use, shearing and damage can occur to equipment causing undetectable product contamination. Metal detectable o-rings can eliminate product recall, lower product loss and decrease the risk of elastomers consumed in finished product.
A common problem with component and filler parts is excessive wear and tear. When rubber breaks off a moving part it can migrate through your system and into your product. Searching for and locating fragmented rubber parts is a costly, time consuming and inconclusive process requiring expensive x-ray equipment, manual observation and an extensive maintenance program. Not locating a worn and lost rubber piece can have an even costlier outcome. By manufacturing a standard elastomer o-ring with a metal impregnated compound, displaced rubber material can now be located by an in-line metal detector. This alarm enables your system to instantly reject contaminated product.
