    Metal- and X-Ray Detectable PEEK Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra Chemical Resistant, Bar, PEEK, Highly Wear Resistant, Metal Detectable.
    If a piece breaks off, there’s no need to worry that it will contaminate your food- or pharmaceutical-processing line. These PEEK bars contain additives that trigger metal detectors and are visible on X-ray systems for easy identification and removal. Their bright blue color provides an additional visual check to support compliance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
    While standard PEEK bars are built for high-precision and structural applications, these PEEK bars are designed for environments where high hygiene standards are critical. They resist cracking, chipping, or flaking from bumps, scrapes, or impact. They’ll also withstand high-temperature steam and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. Use them for guide rails and wear strips in food- and pharmaceutical-processing equipment.

    No need to worry that chips or flakes will contaminate your food- or pharmaceutical-processing line. These PEEK rods contain additives that trigger metal detectors and are visible on X-ray systems for easy identification and removal. Their bright blue color provides an additional visual check to support compliance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
    While standard PEEK rods are built for machined structural and wear components, these PEEK rods are designed for environments where high hygiene standards and contamination control are critical. They resist cracking, chipping, or flaking from turning, drilling, and high-cycle operations. They’ll also withstand high-temperature steam and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with harsh sanitizers. Use them for guide pins, rollers, scrapers, valve seats, bushings, and standoffs in food- and pharmaceutical-processing equipment.
