Ceia THS/3F

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products, such as coffee, snacks, and confectionery.
• Ensuring product safety and quality control in pharmaceutical production lines.
• Protecting downstream machinery from damage caused by metal foreign objects in industrial processing.
• Compliance with food safety standards and regulations by identifying ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants.

Detection sensitivity

Typically capable of detecting very small metallic particles, often down to sub-millimetre sizes, depending on product effect and aperture.

Throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 30 to over 100 packages per minute, influenced by product size and conveyor speed.

Aperture dimensions

Commonly found with various aperture sizes to accommodate different product dimensions; buyers should verify the exact opening for this unit.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase supply, commonly 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Conveyor belt material

Units of this type commonly feature food-grade conveyor belts, often PU or PVC, suitable for direct food contact.

Reject system

Often includes an automatic reject mechanism, such as a pneumatic push-arm or air blast, for removing contaminated products.

Construction materials

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