Metal Detectable O-Rings are used in equipment that produce and package food. During service, o-rings are exposed to temperature variations and corrosive clean-in-place (CIP) chemicals used during equipment sterilization.
Over time, o-ring materials can break down and fail during operation causing material fragments from the o-ring to break off and enter the food stream. Without a way to find material fragments quickly, machine operators must shut down equipment to locate the contaminate source resulting in lost production time and loss of revenue.
Metal detectable o-rings from DICHTOMATIK are formulated with the specific rubber and metal combination that allows for easy detection using
