Ceia Combi Metal Detector / Checkweigher

• Ensuring product safety and compliance in food processing lines by detecting metallic contaminants.
• Verifying product weight accuracy in packaging operations to minimise giveaway and meet legal requirements.
• Used in pharmaceutical production for quality control, checking for foreign objects and correct dosage weight.
• Suitable for non-food industries such as cosmetics or small component manufacturing where weight verification and metal detection are critical.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to 300 packs per minute, depending on product size and weight.

Power supply

Commonly, units of this type require a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, typically 230V or 400V AC.

Detection sensitivity

Metal detectors on combi units typically offer high sensitivity, capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with exact levels depending on aperture size and product effect.

Weighing accuracy

Checkweighers are designed for high accuracy, often to +/- 0.5g or better for lighter products, meeting typical OIML R51 or MID standards.

Reject mechanism

This unit features a ram reject, which is effective for diverting non-conforming products from the main flow into lockable bins.

Footprint

Combi units are designed to save space, typically having a combined length of 1.5m to 2.5m, requiring less line space than two separate machines.

• What types of products can this Ceia Combi unit handle?

  This type of combi unit is versatile and can handle a wide range of packaged products, including pouches, cartons, trays, and rigid containers, typically up to a few kilograms in weight.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a Ceia Combi Metal Detector / Checkweigher?

• Can the metal detector and checkweigher operate independently?

• What certifications should I look for with a used checkweigher?

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
