PEEK Rod - Metal & X-Ray Detectable

PEEK rod - metal & x-ray detectable offers an excellent choice for precision machined parts that endure repeated sterilisation processes such as CIP (cleaning in place) and SIP (sterilisation in place). Designed for food-grade applications requiring enhanced rigidity without reinforcement, this rod incorporates fine additives that enable detection by standard metal detection systems.Our blue metal detectable PEEK rod is also formulated with a solid lubricant to improve sliding performance compared to conventional PEEK materials.

Applications

Ideal for components like filling pistons, bushings, thrust washers, scrapers, and manifolds operating under high temperatures within the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors.
