Polystone® M XDT (X-Ray Detectable UHMW-PE)
Röchling Engineering Plastics continues to set trends and provide solutions
in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries when it comes to
product safety and quality assurance — announcing the first X-ray
detectable UHMW-PE available in the market.
Repeated handling, cleaning and normal wear and tear of plastic
component parts on food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing
machinery increases the risk of a fragment breaking off and contaminating
the product during processing.
The need for traceable plastics, especially machined parts for filling, sorting
and packaging machinery is critical due to strict FDA regulations regarding
foreign materials and contaminants. Since we introduced our line of Metal
Detectable engineering plastics (Polystone M MDT (UHMW-PE) and
Sustarin C MDT (Acetal)) more than two years ago, these unique products
continue be an effective solution for plastic parts used in open product zone
applications.
However moving forward, we quickly realized a demand for X-ray
detectable plastic parts for today's high speed machinery as processors
turn to X-ray inspection equipment especially for post-package inspection.
Working together with one of the world's largest food processors and a
leading manufacturer of X-ray inspection systems, our Polystone M XDT
has proven to be detected with a particle size as small as a 3mm cube.
Running at speeds as fast as 250 feet-per-minute, this product can be
detected and automatically sorted to a product hold area for further
inspection. It works effectively with various types of packaging including
metal cans, plastic and composite containers and glass jars.
Applications: - Scraper blades - Mixer Components - Baffles - Filler plates - Wear plates - Pillow blocks - Pocket fillers - Volumetric fillers - Cups & Sleeves - Piston fillers - Hopper guides - Dividers
