Food Industry Abrasion-Resistant Polyurethane Rubber Sheets and Strips
Use in food-processing environments for cutting surfaces, liners, and other high-wear applications. These sheets and strips are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
Metal- and X-ray detectable sheets and strips contain metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they fall into your food lines. The metal additive also makes it easy for magnetic traps to catch any broken pieces that may fall into a line. Use these sheets and strips to help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. They do not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), which is a chemical that can contaminate process lines.

Food Industry Abrasion-Resistant Natural Rubber Balls
FDA compliant for direct contact with food, these balls are often used to clean screens in vibrating sifters in food, beverage, and other sanitary environments. You can also use them as seals in pumps and check valves. All are made of natural rubber, which is also known as gum rubber and latex rubber.
Metal- and X-ray detectable balls contain metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they fall into your line, helping you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. The metal additive also makes it easy for magnetic traps to catch the balls—or any piece of them—that fall into a line. All are bright blue, making them easy to spot. These balls do not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), which is a chemical that can contaminate your process lines. Free of plasticizers, they won’t impart tastes or odors to items they come into contact with.

Safely use these balls in food and pharmaceutical environments to clean screens in vibrating sifters or to act as a seal in pumps and check valves. They're polyurethane with metal and chemical additives, which means they absorb shock and resist abrasion like rubber and are strong like plastic but also include additives that make them detectable on hygienic lines. These additives will set off metal detectors, X-ray machines, and magnetic traps if these balls fall into food. This helps you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. These balls do not contain BPA or plasticizers, so they won’t cause contamination or impart tastes or odors to products. They are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

- Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.2415, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3297
Common in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK bars help you identify contaminated batches. They contain metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on X-rays if they fall into your line, which help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. All are bright blue in color, so you can find and remove them quickly. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
These PEEK bars stand up to wear from abrasion and repetitive processes. They’re also resistant to extended contact with water, high-temperature steam, and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. Due to their light weight, they’re commonly substituted for metal parts in high-stress or chemical-processing applications where weight is important.

Metal- and X-Ray Detectable Large Diameter Soft Rubber Tubing
- Flexible
- Soft (Durometer 45A)
- Temperature Range: -65° to 180° F
- FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.2600
- Compatible with Socket-Connect Fittings
Move high volumes of dry bulk food, powders, and pellets around your food processing plant while reducing the risk of contaminating the food. To help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs, this large-diameter tubing contains metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines. The metal additive also makes it easy for magnetic traps to catch any broken pieces that may fall into your line. This tubing does not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), which is a chemical that can contaminate your process lines. Free of plasticizers, it won’t impart tastes or odors to the items passing through it. It’s also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
Made of gum rubber, this tubing withstands abrasion and stands up to low temperatures, such as in freezers or refrigerated facilities. It’s also flexible, so it is easy to bend around objects.

Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Antifatigue Mats
Cushion where you stand without contaminating your line in food and pharmaceutical plants. Made with metal and chemical additives, these mats set off metal detectors and X-rays if any part falls into your batch, so it won’t leave your facility. This helps you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety. FDA compliant, they’re safe to touch food. They also come in multiple colors to color-code your lines and prevent cross contamination, helping you meet Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
Projections on both sides of the mat cushion your feet and create traction, reducing fatigue and strain and stopping you from slipping as you work. You can also use these mats to line utility carts and shelves to grip objects in place. The projections are spaced to let air and liquid flow, so bacteria won’t grow between them. Made of durable EPDM rubber, these mats resist scuffs and scrapes. They also stand up to weather and washdowns with harsh sanitizers, cleaners, and other chemicals.
