OVERVIEW of Ketron® VMX Food Grade PEEK |
Ketron® VMX Food Grade PEEK - Engineered plastics with visual, metal, and x-ray detectability. Increase safety and efficiency with the VMX (Visual, Metal, X-Ray) portfolio. Our new VMX polymers enhance your food processing capabilities by bringing three-way detectability and dual food compliance (EU and FDA). The range includes four unique polymers - each tailored to meet different performance requirements.
Applications: Filling pistons, Manifolds, Valves, Scrapers in cookers and high-temperature mixers, Hot oil applications in fryers and ovens, Thrust washers, Guiders, Bushings
Blue plastics with metal and x-ray detectability offers Food Compliant Materials that are detectable in three ways:
Visual Detection (materials are a highly visible blue)
Metal Detection
X-Ray Detection
