Clean, safe, detectable: New igus tribo polymers for food contact16-6-2019
The detection of foreign bodies plays a major role in the production and packaging of food to ensure the perfect quality of the products and to prevent contamination. Therefore, igus has now developed the tribologically optimised plain bearing material iglidur FC 180 (FC = "Food Contact") specifically for food contact. The new material is visually detectable by its blue colour as well as by metal detectors due to the inclusion of appropriate, food-compatible additives. In this way, broken pieces can be quickly detected and removed in the event of damage to the system. As a result, the purity of the product is secured and costly product recalls are prevented. The new material complies with the specifications of the FDA and EU Regulation 10/2011 and can therefore be used in direct food contact. "Its low moisture absorption and lubrication-free property are additional criteria that speak in favour of the optimum suitability of the material in applications in the food technology, beverage and packaging industries," explains Lars Braun, Head of Packaging Industry Management at igus. |
