Ketron® VMX Food Grade PEEK

Ketron® VMX Food Grade PEEK an EU 10/2011 and compositional FDA 21 CFR § 177.2415 compliant material  that offers extreme dimensional stability, and high strength and temperature resistance. Visual, metal, and x-ray detectable, Ketron® VMX Food Grade shapes can be easily traced by conventional metal and x-ray detection systems, allowing global food processors to safely avoid costly recalls caused by foreign contamination. Due to their superior resistance to wear and corrosion, Ketron® VMX Food GradePEEK components are favored for applications in the food processing and packaging industry such as pistons, manifolds, valves, and mixing vessels.

Ketron® VMX Food Grade PEEK - Engineered plastics with visual, metal, and x-ray detectability. Increase safety and efficiency with the VMX (Visual, Metal, X-Ray) portfolio. Our new VMX polymers enhance your food processing capabilities by bringing three-way detectability and dual food compliance (EU and FDA). The range includes four unique polymers - each tailored to meet different performance requirements.

Applications: Filling pistons, Manifolds, Valves, Scrapers in cookers and high-temperature mixers, Hot oil applications in fryers and ovens, Thrust washers, Guiders, Bushings
