Ceia - Metal Detector

• Ensuring product safety and integrity in food processing lines by detecting metallic contaminants.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing to identify foreign metal objects in tablets or capsules.
• Inspection of packaged goods in logistics and distribution centres to prevent contaminated products reaching consumers.
• Recycling operations to separate metallic waste from other materials.
• Textile industry for detecting broken needles or other metal fragments in fabrics.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product size and line speed, commonly handling several hundred items per minute.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase power, commonly 230V or 400V AC, 50Hz.

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 the aperture and product effect.

Operating temperature

Commonly designed for ambient factory conditions, typically 0°C to 40°C.

Construction material

Enclosures are typically stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Control system

Modern units commonly feature digital controls with touch-screen interfaces for parameter adjustment and data logging.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Ceia metal detectors are typically designed to detect ferrous (iron), non-ferrous (e.g., aluminium, copper, brass), and non-magnetic stainless steel contaminants.

• How does the 'stop on detect' feature work?

• Is this unit suitable for wet environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a metal detector?

• Can this metal detector be integrated into an existing production line?

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.
