Metal-Filled Acetal is Easy to Find With Metal Sensors
Delrin 400MTD acetal from DuPont, Wilmington, Del., is made with a proprietary metal filler and can be detected by most metal sensors used on food-processing conveyors, in the unlikely event of a part’s entry into the process stream.
The resin
shares attributes with previous Delrin
grades that serve other types of
conveyors. The acetal’s low wear and
friction let parts run with little or no
lubrication. The polymer can replace
metal chains and belt links and will
run with less noise and last longer.
The 400MTD grade complies with
FDA Regulation 21-CFR-177.2470.
It can be used in components that
touch all food types on a repeated
basis except those containing more
than 15% alcohol and up to 250°F
contact temperatures.
