    Metal-Detectable UHMW Polyethylene Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Metal-Detectable UHMW Polyethylene Rods.
    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- and X-Ray Detectable PEEK Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. PEEK, Metal Detectable, Highly Wear Resistant, Ultra Chemical Resistant, Rod.
    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.
