Metal detectable rubber products contain additives, typically metal particles or powders, that make them detectable by metal detectors commonly used in production lines.
This helps in quickly identifying and removing any rubber fragments or contaminants that may have entered the product stream, ensuring food safety and product integrity
Metal detectable rubber products are versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including sealing, conveying, sorting, and packaging.
They can withstand harsh operating conditions, including temperature extremes, moisture, and chemical exposure.
Metal detectable rubber products help prevent contamination incidents by providing an additional layer of safety in processing facilities.
Detecting and removing rubber fragments or seals that may have broken off from equipment or machinery can prevent costly recalls and protect consumers from potential harm.
We " MS POLYMERIC " has developed four Metal and X-Ray detectable materials made with ingredients sanctioned under FDA Title 21 CFR 177.2600.
All four materials are 3A Sanitary 18-03 approved and are available in Silicone, Nitrile, EPDM, and FKM. Each is 70 durometer and blue in color. (The industry standard color is blue but materials can be colored for specific customer requirements and any polymer can be made metal detectable).
All compounds were tested by an independent laboratory and found to have magnetic properties that exceed industry standards.
Metal detectable rubber products maintain the same durability and performance characteristics as standard rubber products, ensuring reliable sealing, cushioning, and protection in industrial applications.
They are available in various forms, including gaskets, seals, O-rings, and conveyor belts, suitable for different processing environments.
Many regulatory bodies, such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the United States and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in the EU, require food processing facilities to implement measures to prevent foreign object contamination.
Using metal detectable rubber products helps companies comply with these regulations and industry standards.
