igus detectable plastics for food and packaging

Friday, 03 June, 2016 | Supplied by: Treotham Automation Pty Ltd


Treotham supplies the igus range of lubricant-free, high-performance plastics that can be traced with standard metal detection methods. The magnetic motion plastics reduce costs, increase process reliability and help prevent foreign substances from entering food products.

The material is used in the igubal series, which include flange bearings, rod end bearings, clevis joints, pillow block bearings and spherical bearings. Both the housing and spherical balls are made of the detectable plastic.

The plastics do not require external lubrication, which eliminates the risk of products in the food and packaging industry coming into contact with lubricant. The materials A181 and iglidur A350 don’t need to be actively lubricated and are compliant with the EC directive 10/2011 and with FDA specifications for repeated contact with food.
