Legislation demands that manufacturers take the necessary measures to detect pollution to ensure consumer safety.
Metal detectable silicone sheeting and manufactured components from J-Flex contain additives which are visible to metal detector scanning equipment, so that any rubber contamination in the food, drinks and pharmaceutical production process can be easily identified.
Offering custom made solutions for Food, Drink, Dairy, Pharma/Bio & Life Science Industries, J-Flex can supply a tried and tested range of Metal Detectable rubber Gaskets, Seals, O-Rings, Bellows and Sections for your food, drink or pharmaceutical production – to suit all types of detector equipment; food processing applications and budgets.
The ‘magnetic pull’ strength means that even the smallest particle of rubber pollution is detected. Currently all J-Flex Metal Detectable Rubber Products are qualified by independent testing to FDA Title 21 CFR 177.2600 regarding extraction and migration levels for products in repeated contact with food. In addition the metallic ferrite powder is approved on the FDA White list. J-Flex metal detectable silicone sheet is properly manufactured from approved ingredients; cured and additionally post cured to meet FDA compliancy requirements. Our metal detectable silicone sheets can also be supplied with our high temperature adhesive backing.
Metal Detectable Silicone Sponge is ideal for gaskets & door seals used in sensitive food processing areas. Don’t take any risks by fitting traditional sponge materials because that are cheap, they also have low levels of conductivity and are very often missed by even the strongest detection systems.
