    Reduce the risk of contaminating your process line—these rods have an additive that can be located by metal detectors. Use them for bushings and bearings where food safety is a priority. They have excellent impact resistance and a slippery surface that prevents sticking and reduces wear.
    Blue—Blue material can be easily spotted for removal if a piece falls into a batch in food or pharmaceutical plants.

    Metal-Detectable PEEK Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Metal-Detectable PEEK Rods.
    Often used in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK rods help you prevent contaminated products from leaving your facility. They contain metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on X-rays if they fall into your line, which help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. Bright blue in color, you can find and remove them quickly. All are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
    These PEEK rods resist wear from abrasion and repetitive processes. They also stand up to extended contact with water, high-temperature steam, and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. Since they’re lightweight, they’re often used as a substitute for metal parts in high-stress or chemical-processing applications where weight matters.
