Metal Detectable Silicone Strip
At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd (ASG), we manufacture a wide range of high-quality non-metallic strips, including foams, sponges, rubbers, and plastics. Among our specialist products, metal detectable silicone strips are designed for industries requiring food-safe, contaminant-detectable, and durable sealing solutions.
Our metal detectable silicone rubber is manufactured in continuous rolls up to 1.2 meters wide and in thicknesses from 0.5mm to 10mm, which can then be cut into strips of varying widths and lengths according to customer specifications.
All strips are made to order in-house using state-of-the-art machinery, including band saws, strippers, log cutters, and presses. For high-volume, small-width runs, we also offer kiss-cutting to speed up production and improve efficiency.
What Are Metal Detectable Silicone Rubber Strips?
Metal detectable silicone strips are blue-coloured, FDA-approved silicone rubber products containing additives that make them visible to metal detector scanning equipment. This feature allows manufacturers in the food, drink, and pharmaceutical industries to quickly identify and remove any fragments or contamination, ensuring product safety and compliance.
These strips are cut to specific widths and lengths and can be supplied as pre-cut pieces or continuous coils. They are commonly used as seals, gaskets, cushioning strips, anti-vibration components, and insulation strips.
