Ceia Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products to ensure consumer safety.
• Identifying metal foreign bodies in bulk materials such as grains, powders, or plastics.
• Inspecting pharmaceutical products for metal fragments during production.
• Quality control in non-food industries to protect downstream machinery from metal damage.

Typical aperture size

Varies significantly; for this class of equipment, common aperture widths range from 200mm to 600mm, with heights from 100mm to 300mm.

Power supply

Typically single-phase 230V AC, 50Hz, commonly found on units of this type.

Throughput speed

Can handle conveyor speeds typically up to 30-60 metres per minute, depending on product size and sensitivity settings.

Detection sensitivity

Capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity levels typically adjustable based on product effect.

Construction material

Often features stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability, suitable for washdown environments.

Operating environment

Designed for industrial environments, typically with an IP65 protection rating for the detection head.

• What types of metal can this detector identify?

  Ceia THS/3F metal detectors are designed to identify ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. The specific sensitivity for each type of metal will depend on the unit's configuration and the product being inspected.

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

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

• What kind of maintenance does a used Ceia metal detector require?

• How do I know if the sensitivity is appropriate for my product?

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.
