Ceia - Ceia - Metal Detector

Applications & Use Cases

• Ensuring product safety and quality in food processing lines by detecting metallic contaminants.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by tramp metal in manufacturing processes.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical production to prevent metal foreign objects in tablets or capsules.
• Inspection of packaged goods to ensure integrity and compliance with safety standards.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 10 to 100 metres per minute, depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase 230V AC supply, with some industrial models requiring three-phase.

Detection sensitivity

Typically capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants down to sub-millimetre sizes, depending on the product effect.

Operating environment

Commonly designed for industrial environments, with IP ratings suitable for washdown or dusty conditions.

Footprint

The overall footprint will vary but typically includes the detector head and a conveyor system, requiring around 1.5 to 3 metres in length.

Rejection mechanism

Many units feature automatic rejection systems such as air blast, pushers, or stop-on-detect mechanisms, as described for this unit.
