Food Industry Abrasion-Resistant Natural Rubber Balls
FDA compliant for direct contact with food, these balls are often used to clean screens in vibrating sifters in food, beverage, and other sanitary environments. You can also use them as seals in pumps and check valves. All are made of natural rubber, which is also known as gum rubber and latex rubber.
Metal- and X-ray detectable balls contain metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they fall into your line, helping you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. The metal additive also makes it easy for magnetic traps to catch the balls—or any piece of them—that fall into a line. All are bright blue, making them easy to spot. These balls do not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), which is a chemical that can contaminate your process lines. Free of plasticizers, they won’t impart tastes or odors to items they come into contact with.

Safely use these balls in food and pharmaceutical environments to clean screens in vibrating sifters or to act as a seal in pumps and check valves. They’re made with metal and chemical additives to set off metal detectors or X-ray machines if they fall into food, helping you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. The metal additive also ensures these balls will be caught by magnetic traps. These balls are FDA compliant for direct contact with food, and contain no BPA or plasticizers that could cause contamination. They’re made of polyurethane, which combines rubber’s shock-absorbing properties with the strength of plastic. To withstand rough use over time, these balls are designed to be abrasion resistant.

Calibration Kit for Metal-Detectable Plastics
Made with metal additives, these balls test the sensitivity of food-processing metal detectors. They’re often used to calibrate metal detectors to find metal-detectable plastic tools that have fallen into a batch. To calibrate your metal detector, run different balls through the line—the smaller the ball, the more sensitive the detector must be to recognize it. Since they’re spheres, their orientation won’t affect a metal detector’s ability to register them. These balls help you comply with Hazard and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety. They’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Balls are autoclavable, so you can sanitize them with steam.
