With O-rings, due to the exposure of various situations such as corrosive cleaning chemicals, continuous vibrations and extreme temperatures, O-rings can fail and break down. When this happens, tiny fragments and particles from the seal can split off and find its way through the pipework system, and if not removed in time, can find its way into the product flow. This is why Jacob UK designed and created their DETECTABLE DESIGN range which features metal detectable O-rings.
The Unique Feature
For operations where the product is created for human consumption, the results of an O-ring breaking down can be devastating. The machine operators will have to shut down the equipment and start a visual inspection to locate any and all foreign particles until normal operation can resume. This results in a loss of production, loss of time and can, in the worst-case scenario, result in a product recall which will damage company reputation.
To help avoid this problem, Jacob UK’s DETECTABLE DESIGN range incorporates tiny magnetic and metallic particles into the material. This results in any foreign particles being easily and immediately detected by metal detectors and X-rays,and can be quickly removed either by separators or by hand. Not only does this result in an increase in safety but the DETECTABLE DESIGN range is designed and created in compliance withthe European regulation EC 1935/2004 and the American FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requirements.
A Superior Material Choice
Their metal detectable O-rings are available in a choice of materials including NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), Silicone, Blue Silicone, EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) and FKM which is a fluoroelastomer that is made from fluoro rubber. Their O-rings are available in a range of diameters from 60 to 400mm and their Blue Silicone, EPDM and Silicone materials are all a part of their FOOD GRADE range as well.
Jacob UK’s O-rings are simple to install and more durable to wear and tear from repeated use. They are versatile and an ideal choice when it comes to machinery that creates a large amount of pressure or has fast moving parts. The FKM material is ideal for withstanding a high-temperature range, resulting in a longer lasting and more durable O-ring.
An Airtight Seal
O-rings are used as a seal in machinery due to its muscle memory properties, as the rubber of the seal will always mould back to its original position. Because of this feature, Jacob UK’s O-rings are able to create a tight seal without using much pressure, and once pressure is applied, it compresses against the incision so it expands and eliminates any gaps by creating an airtight seal. Their O-rings are specifically designed to be used with pull-rings and push in pipes as the O-ring will ensure that there is an airtight connection.
