Metal Detectable Silicone Washers

Metal Detectable Silicone Washers

High-Quality Metal Detectable Silicone Washers from Advanced Seals & Gaskets

At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, we are one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of non-metallic washers, specialising in metal detectable silicone washers. These washers are crafted from FDA-approved, high-quality silicone rubber, incorporating additives that make them detectable by metal scanning equipment, ensuring maximum safety in the food, drink, and pharmaceutical industries.

Our metal detectable silicone washers are produced from continuous rolls of material, available in widths of 1.2 meters and thicknesses from 0.5mm to 10mm, allowing us to manufacture custom washers to your exact specifications.

All washers are produced in-house using a combination of skilled workforce and high-spec machinery, including oscillating knives and presses, ensuring precision, efficiency, and consistent high-quality results for both small batch orders and large production runs.

What Are Metal Detectable Silicone Washers?

Metal detectable silicone washers are flat rings of silicone with Outer Diameter (OD) and Inner Diameter (ID) measurements. They are designed to:

  • Reduce friction

  • Stabilise uneven surfaces

  • Provide a level surface for nuts, bolts, or fixings.

  • Act as water-tight or air-tight seals

The key feature of these washers is the metal-detectable silicone material, which contains additives that allow metal detection equipment to identify any potential contamination. This is particularly critical in food, drink, and pharmaceutical production, where product safety and compliance are paramount.
