  • Conveyor Module, Small Fragments of Which are Magnetically and X-Ray Detectable
    Publication number: 20230416002
    Abstract: A conveyer module, small fragments of which are detectable by X-ray and magnetic sensors, is formed from a compounded mixture of a thermoplastic polymer and a ferrous metal powder. The thermoplastic polymer comprises a polyketone constituting less than 85% by weight of the mixture. The ferrous metal powder is a 400 series stainless steel constituting between 16% and 20% by weight of the mixture.
