Plastic additions

Designed for use in the food and drinks industry, polymer bearing expert igus has developed a new variant of its igubal range made of detectable plastic. The company says that when the igubal bearings are fitted to a machine, there is no possibility of any igubal parts contaminating the end product when a metal detector is fitted.

The new detectable plastic variants are easy to install, adjust to all angle deviations and, in many applications, can replace metallic components.
