Ceia (THS/MN) Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products to ensure consumer safety.
• Inspecting pharmaceuticals for unwanted metal particles during production.
• Quality control in plastics and recycling industries to protect machinery from metal damage.
• Checking textiles and garments for broken needles or other metallic foreign objects.
• Ensuring compliance with food safety standards such as HACCP and BRC.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly depending on product size and conveyor speed, commonly ranging from 10 to 60 metres per minute.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a single-phase 230V AC supply, often with a low current draw.

Detection sensitivity

Ceia metal detectors are known for high sensitivity, typically detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants down to sub-millimetre sizes, depending on product effect.

Construction material

The frame and housing are commonly constructed from stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments in food processing.

Operating environment

Typically designed for industrial environments, often with an IP65 protection rating for dust and water ingress.

Control interface

Units commonly feature a user-friendly digital interface for parameter setting and data logging.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Ceia metal detectors are designed to identify all magnetic and non-magnetic metals, including ferrous (iron), non-ferrous (aluminium, copper, brass), and difficult-to-detect stainless steels.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• What is 'product effect' and how does it impact detection?

• Can the conveyor speed be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Does this unit include a rejection system?

Metal detectors for food processing remain reliable workhorses in quality control operations. Buyers typically value their durability and consistent contamination detection capability. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history and sensitivity settings proves essential. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward maintenance records and minimal downtime. Common strengths include robust construction, straightforward operation, and cost-effectiveness compared to new equipment. Prospective buyers should verify functional testing documentation and assess integration compatibility with existing production lines.
