Material showcased: TIVAR VMX
Increase the safety and efficiency of food processing capabilities with the VMX portfolio (Visual, Metal, X-Ray). VMX is developed and designed to support all types of food and detection technologies. The new VMX polymers improve your food processing performance through triple detectability and dual compliance with European and U.S. (EU & FDA) food regulations.
The speed of food processing continues to increase. This creates higher pressure on equipment, which may lead to component failures and potential food contamination over time. To enhance food processing safety, the need for components using high-quality detectable polymers has never been greater. These polymers not only improve safety but also help achieve sustainability goals and enhance production capacity. The plastics weigh 1/7 of metals, enabling higher processing capabilities. They also offer a longer service life and are even self-lubricating, reducing wear and the need for lubrication.
Advantages of TIVAR VMX
- Triple detectability (visual, metal, X-ray)
- Increased detection via particle detection from 2 mm
- Foodgrade EU 10/2011 (supplied with migration testing documentation) & manufactured according to GMP guidelines
- Best impact resistance in its class and low coefficient of friction
- Average dimensional stability due to extremely low water absorption, but high linear thermal expansion
- Good performance in cryogenic environments
- Excellent release properties
- Continuous use temperature up to 80°C
- Highly visible blue color for improved food safety
- Resistant to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals
- Ideal for clean-in-place (CIP) and sanitize-in-place (SIP)
- TIVAR VMX is suitable for chain guides, hoppers, rollers, bushings, gears, and mixing paddles.
