Reduce the Risk of Lost Product with Metal Detectable O-Rings
Reduce the risk of lost product due to damaged o-rings with Alfa Laval’s metal detectable o-rings.
When it comes to sanitary processing we know:
- Uptime is production time and
- More end product, means more on your bottom line.
That’s why keeping your lines up and running efficiently and contamination free is vital to your process and your business’s success.
Reduce the Risk of Product Waste
Alfa Laval offers a seal kit to compliment your existing LKH pumps to ensure that your pumps and lines are operating at peak performance at all times, ensuring your best end product. Metal detectable seal kits reduce the risk of product waste due to damaged o-rings. Fragments, as small as 2mm, can be identified by x-ray and in-line metal detection equipment.
You can minimize the chance of contaminating your lines, resulting in line shut down by installing these metal detectable seal kits in your LKH pumps. Replacing your existing o-rings with these metal detectable ones is simple!
