Ceia THS - MK21 Metal Detector

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products prior to dispatch.
• Ensuring product integrity and consumer safety in confectionery and snack production.
• Identifying foreign objects in bakery items, preventing product recalls.
• Used in dairy processing to inspect products like cheese or yoghurts for metal fragments.
• Quality control in meat and poultry processing lines to detect unwanted metal.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Often integrated into high-speed production lines, capable of inspecting hundreds of items per minute, depending on product size and line speed.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, typically 230V or 400V, 50Hz for UK operations.

Detection sensitivity

Units of this type are designed to detect very small ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity levels adjustable based on product characteristics.

Aperture size

The internal opening size varies significantly, typically ranging from 150mm to 600mm in width and 100mm to 300mm in height, to accommodate different product dimensions.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Operating environment

Designed for industrial food production settings, often with an IP65 or higher rating for washdown capabilities.
