Detectomer® O-Rings Overview
In response to the unique challenges faced in Food, Beverage, and Pharmaceutical processing equipment, we present a comprehensive range of Metal-Detectable and X-Ray-inspectable O Rings and Cords.
Over time, as equipment undergoes repeated clean-in-place procedures, sterilisation, and cleaning, components can experience degradation. This is detrimental to O Rings because as they deteriorate, they carry a heightened risk of shedding material fragments, potentially resulting in product contamination, recalls, losses, and overall costly downtime.
Our Detectomer® products use FDA and 3A-approved compounds, guaranteeing industry-standard compliance. Markedly, these O Rings are easily discernible through in-line X-Ray inspections, Metal Detection systems, and magnetic separators. Your system can promptly identify Detectomer® fragments, enabling it to quickly reject contaminated products, and subsequently facilitating the replacement of worn elastomers without incurring significant expenses or experiencing extended downtime.
Typically, we categorise Detectomer® O Ring applications based on the motion between two surfaces. For instance, static applications involve sealing stationary components, while dynamic sealing pertains to moving parts.
In dynamic sealing, several environmental factors can substantially affect performance, including the:
- Seal swell in fluids.
- Surface finish of metal parts.
- Lubrication.
- System pressure.
- Thermal cycling.
- O Ring compression.
- Stretching.
- Friction
Generally, given the interconnected nature of these factors, it is essential to consider all of them in dynamic sealing scenarios. We strongly recommend conducting pretests in specific dynamic applications to determine acceptable life cycles.
*Please be aware that the colour of the Detectomer® O Ring may exhibit variations due to processing.
Available Materials:
- Buna
- EPDM
- FKM
- Silicone
- Tuf-Steel®
*It’s important to note that Silicone Detectomer® O Rings have a temperature range of -57ºC to 199ºC (-70°F to 390°F).
