Quick change wearpart for corner wearbends
E-Components and Chains (ECC) continues to bring to the marketplace exciting new innovations using the latest manufacturing/design technology and special grades of engineering plastics.
Components simplify conveyor design
A new range of "plastic" conveyor components offers the facility for simple CAD design.
Therefore ECC/Detectamet offers metal detectable materials for dry, frozen or wet environments to meet these high standards.
In 2001 the process was started with the development of metal detectable materials as a standard application for a potato plant.
The harsh environment in this industry resulted in detectable and wear resistant solutions.
Interest in this material has grown.
Among others, the vegetable and bakery industries are applying this technology either in new or existing installations Metal detectable materials are protected as standard with Microban antibacterial protection.
The incorporated Microban ensures improved hygiene, especially between regular cleaning operations and production startup.
Metal detectable materials with active protection against food poisoning bacteria and fungi are important developments in a total food safety programme.
Detectamet Metal Detectable materials are available in: 505 Series side-flexing 0.5in-pitch belt; 1255 Series side-flexing 1.25in-pitch belt; 1500 Series straight-running 15mm-pitch belt; 1000 Series straight-running 1in-pitch belt; and 2010 Series straight-running 2in-pitch belt.
