Rubber Fab Blue Detectomer® Metal Detectable/X-Ray Inspectable Type I EPDM Tri-Clamp® Gaskets

Detecting elastomeric contamination during food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing Rubber Fab offers a full line of metal detectable/x-ray inspectable elastomeric products. Over time and repeated clean-in-place, sterilization, and handling during equipment cleaning, component parts used in food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing equipment and pipework can degrade. As the elastomer degrades, there is a high risk of rubber fragments breaking off, resulting in product contamination, product recall, lost product and down time. Designed to work with existing stainless steel piping and hose systems, Rubber Fab's line of Detectomer® products can be spotted by in-line x-ray inspection and metal detection systems as well as magnetic separators. Detectomer® fragments can easily be detected allowing your system to quickly reject contaminated product. This also allows worn parts to be replaced without great expense or costly downtime. The entire Detectomer® family of products can be x-ray detected in use with packaging and product that includes glass, metal, stone and high-density plastics, even for products packaged in foil or metalized film.
