Major food manufacturer prevents contamination with metectSil™ silicone rubber gaskets and seals
Press release from: Silicone Engineering
(openPR) - A unique silicone rubber product is being utilised by a major food manufacturer to prevent contamination and increase productivity.
A major food manufacturer has seen a marked difference in its productivity after choosing metectSil™ silicone rubber.
By preventing the contamination of rubber seals, the company has seen far less downtime on its production lines.
The company, a producer of food coating and seasoning products, was looking to replace standard rubber seals on U-Sections of its food processing lines.
Having viewed the Silicone Engineering website, the company enquired about the metectSil™ range, noticing its potential benefits immediately.
With the new silicone rubber seals and gaskets, the company quickly and efficiently detects any potential contamination.
On detection, production can be halted and contaminated items can be quickly segregated.
metectSil™ silicone rubber seals and gaskets was by far the best suited material to the company’s operation - with the added benefit of detecting contamination from rubber seals used in food processing lines.
Silicone Engineering visited the company site and the chief engineer outlined what they needed from their rubber seals.
Bespoke prototype silicone rubber seals were produced, which were tested extensively on the processing lines with the metal detection systems.
The trials were a great success and the company quickly placed orders to replace the standard rubber U-Section with metectSil™ rubber seals.
Since installation, metectSil™ has performed superbly. The products have also given the operators added confidence in the durability and suitability of the seals used in manufacturing processes.
The revolutionary new material has been designed specifically to increase productivity in manufacturing.
metectSil™ is made for extreme temperatures of between -60°C to 230°C and is suitable for use in a range of demanding environments.
Silicone rubber used for a wide variety of applications
Silicone rubber is used in a wide range of industries – owing to its unique properties.
Silicone rubber is stable, non-reactive and resistant to extreme environments and temperatures.
The specialist characteristics of silicone rubber, and the expertise Silicone Engineering applies to it, allows it to serve a variety of diverse industries – including tubing, gaskets, seals and sheeting.
As transportation becomes faster, more reliable and more efficient, the demand for high-performance materials increases.
Silicone rubber easily meets these demands by delivering the strength, durability and safety needed in sectors such as train locomotives and carriages, marine vessels, public transportation and heavy goods vehicles.
With the outstanding ability to withstand incredible stresses and temperature extremes, silicone rubber is used widely throughout the Aerospace and Aviation industries.
Silicone rubber delivers the strength and durability needed in applications throughout the automotive sector – including silicone tubing and gaskets.
Silicone rubber’s excellent weathering properties extend the service life of automotive assemblies, making them more resistant to rain, wind, salt, abrasion, ultraviolet radiation and chemicals.
In building and construction, silicone products make construction materials work better and longer.
Silicone profiles and sections are fitted to glass, steel and plastics.
In the manufacture of solar applications, silicones are used both in the construction and the production process.
In both instances, the most important property of silicone is its durability, which has been proven to clearly outperform the durability of organic polymers.
Silicone rubber tubing and moulding is an important material in many different areas, including food processing, bakeries, breweries, vending machines, canned food, drink manufacturing and cooking equipment manufacturing.
For more information on silicone rubber, rubber gaskets, rubber seals or silicone tubing, visit www.silicone.co.uk.
Silicone Engineering has been striving to meet the diverse needs of its customers for over 50 years.
With the ability to manufacture silicone rubber products in almost every form, the company is a genuine global one-stop-shop for customers.
Investing heavily in technical facilities, Silicone Engineering has one of the best-equipped research and development laboratories in the industry.
