As in line x-ray technology and its associated costs have improved, producers in the food industry have begun to embrace the technology as a reliable method for alerting production workers to the presence of unwanted particulate matter during food quality inspection.
In addition to optical and metal detective characteristics, Ensinger’s Ultra Detectable family of engineering plastics also has the ability to be picked up by typical in-line x-ray detection systems that are being deployed in food production facilities for quality inspection purposes. TECAFORM AH UD blue (POM), TECADUR PBT UD blue (PBT), and TECAPEEK UD blue (PEEK) all count x-ray detection among their key properties. These multi-detectable products have been proven to be valuable material choices to equipment designers looking for the most versatile engineering x-ray plastic solutions.
