X Ray Detectable Plastic

Metal detectors and x-ray machines have long been used to detect metal and non-metal X-Ray detectable contamination in food processing operations. The trend today is the continued improvement in the detectability of supplies and equipment—including those made of plastic or rubber.  

Ordinary plastics cannot be detected by metal detectors or x-ray machines. However, by incorporating new resin additives during manufacturing, broken pieces or fragments of plastic materials can be detected by a metal detector or x-ray inspection system before getting mixed in with food products. This allows manufacturers to prevent contaminated products from reaching the market. Detectable additives can be included in the resin to impart magnetic susceptibility in plastics so they can be separated magnetically or detected by metal detectors and x-ray inspection systems.Metal Detectable Grades
