Poly Detectable Material

Identify costly and risky contaminents by detecting the fragments of the Polymers in your plant by using PolyDetect materials. The inclusion of rust free metal into our engineered polymers enables plants to avoid shipping your food and dairy product before your finished product is packaged and shipped to the customer. PolyDetect products reduce the possibility of costly and potentially embarrassing product recall.   The possibilities are endless as FlowSmart produces clamp gaskets, Schedule V, I-Lines, Bevel Seat, John Perry, Q-Line, Screen gaskets, Orifice Plate gaskets, Balls for Check Valves and O-rings. Many color choices are available. FlowSmart has developed a cost efficient process that makes detectable gaskets affordable NOW! Save with FlowSmart on both your initial investment and product loss with our PolyDetect products.
FlowSmart produces a large array of PolyDetectable products including:
