As x-ray detection systems and plastic modular belts become more common in food processing and packaging operations, Habasit America has introduced a new POM+DX thermoplastic belting material that is visible to x-rays.


Suitable for direct food contact to help avoid contamination in accordance with FDA and EU regulations, the new POM-based material, modified for impact resistance, is ideal for red meat, poultry, fish and dairy operations. The new material is available in several Habasit belt styles and pitches from the M1100 series to the M6300 series.


Key features include:

  • POM+DX is a thermoplastic POM-based material with special compound to make it x-ray detectable.
  • To further reduce the risk of contamination, the POM-DX material has been modified to provide improved impact resistance over traditional POM.
  • The material is suitable for direct food contact in accordance with FDA and EU regulations.
  • High-safety food applications, such as red meat, poultry, fish and dairy, can benefit most from this detectable material.
  • The bright yellow-green color enhances visibility for easier visual detection.
  • Several Habasit belt styles and pitches have been outfitted with the POM+DX material, from M1100series to the M6300 series.
