Metal Detectable Plastic Rod

Metal Detectable Plastic Rod is designed for industries where contamination prevention is of the utmost importance, such as the food, drink, pharmaceutical and hygiene-sensitive industries. These rods are manufactured with embedded metal particles, which are easily detectable to most metal detectors and X-ray scanning equipment. Therefore, any plastic contamination in the product can be easily identified, reducing the risk of contamination-related recalls. Its high visibility blue colour and non-toxic composition ensure compliance with food standards.

PAR Group can supply a range of grades in many different sizes and can also machine each plastic into specific components using our in-house CNC machining, cutting, routing, milling and turning facilities.
