Why a Detectomer® Tri-Clamp Gasket?
Industries, especially in the Food, Pharmaceutical, and Manufacturing sectors, rely on Detectomer® Tri-Clamp Gaskets as specialised gaskets. What sets it apart is its unique design and composition, which makes it both metal-detectable and X-Ray-inspectable. Sanitary pipe connections, particularly those involving Tri-Clamp fittings, are the primary application for these gaskets.
The key features of a Detectomer® Tri-Clamp Gasket are:
- Metal-Detectable: These gaskets are constructed using materials that can be detected by metal-detection systems. This property plays a crucial role in swiftly identifying any accidental contamination, such as metal fragments or foreign objects, during the production or packaging process.
- X-Ray-Inspectable: Detectomer® Tri-Clamp Gaskets are designed to appear clearly in X-Ray inspection systems. This capability allows for thorough scanning of products and packaging, enabling the detection of any anomalies, including missing or damaged products, as well as verifying fill levels and identifying packing voids.
- Sanitary Sealing: Apart from their detectability features, these gaskets maintain the sanitary integrity of pipe connections. They find common use in applications where ensuring a clean and uncontaminated environment is imperative, especially within the Food and Pharmaceutical Industries.
“In summary, Detectomer® Tri-Clamp Gaskets enhance product safety, compliance with industry regulations. Therefore reducing the risk of product recalls due to foreign material contamination.
