CONVUM SM Series | FDA Pads for Food & Metal Detection Safety

• Metal-Detectable Silicone Compound: Uses metal-detectable silicone so any fragments can be quickly found by metal detectors, reducing foreign-object risk.
• X-Ray Visible: Enhanced response under x-ray inspection compared with standard silicone, strengthening contamination control.
• Multiple Geometries: Available in flat, 2-bellows, 3-bellows, multi-bellows, and thin-type styles to fit various parts and tooling spaces.
• Food/Pharma Ready: Designed for sanitary lines to minimize contamination risk and improve yield.
• FDA-Compliant Material: Built with food-grade silicone for safe contact.
• Applications: Food packaging & sorting, pharmaceutical/medical packaging, automation cells integrated with metal detection/x-ray systems.

Q1: What's the key difference vs. standard silicone pads?
A: SM uses a metal-detectable silicone formulation, allowing fragments to be detected by metal detectors or x-ray systems; standard silicone typically isn't metal-detectable.

Q2: Are SM pads suitable for food and pharma lines?
A: Yes. They're made from FDA-compliant, food-grade silicone and are purpose-built for hygiene-critical environments.

Q3: What pad configurations are available?
A: Flat, dual-bellows, triple-bellows, multi-bellows, and thin-type options to match size, stroke, and tooling constraints.

Q4: Will SM pads work with our existing metal detectors and x-ray machines?
A: Generally yes, but sensitivities vary. Run an on-line detection trial to confirm thresholds and alarm settings.

Q5: Can they be used outside food/pharma applications?
A: Absolutely. Any process with strict FO control (cosmetics, pet food, premium packaging) can benefit.

Q6: Any maintenance/replacement tips?
A: Inspect lips for wear, cracks, or hardening; replace at the first sign of damage or unstable suction, and re-verify detection on the line afterward.
