Metal Detectable Plastic Sheet

Metal Detector In Industry

Metal detectable plastic sheets play a vital role in safeguarding product integrity within the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors. These specialised plastics are engineered to be identifiable by metal and X-ray detection equipment, enabling swift detection and removal of any damaged or contaminated fragments from production lines.

Henry Gallacher supplies a wide selection of metal detectable plastic sheet materials, designed to perform reliably under challenging conditions. Our precision CNC machining services enable us to cut, mill, route, and turn these materials into bespoke components that fit seamlessly into your manufacturing workflow, helping you uphold stringent industry safety requirements.

Grades of Metal Detectable Plastic Available

Polyethylene PE1000 Sheet - UHMW Metal Detectable
PE1000 - UHMW

Known for its high strength, low friction, and excellent wear resistance, metal detectable UHMW also features minimal moisture absorption and strong chemical resistance. It is frequently fabricated into wear strips, scrapers, and machined parts for food industry applications. Suitable temperature range: -150°C to +80°C.
