Ceia T/21E Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products to ensure consumer safety.
• Inspecting bulk materials such as grains, powders, or aggregates for unwanted metal.
• Quality control in pharmaceutical production lines to identify foreign objects in tablets or capsules.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by tramp metal in processing streams.
• Ensuring compliance with food safety standards and regulations in various industries.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed; units of this type commonly handle hundreds to thousands of items per minute.

Detection sensitivity

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

Aperture size

Commonly available in various aperture dimensions to suit different product sizes and conveyor widths.

Power supply

Units of this class typically require a standard single-phase industrial power supply, commonly 230V, 50Hz.

Construction material

Often features stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability, particularly in food processing environments.

Environmental rating

Typically designed for industrial environments, with some models offering IP65 or higher ratings for washdown capability.

Rejection system compatibility

Commonly integrates with various rejection mechanisms such as air blast, pushers, or retracting conveyors.
