Ceia - THS/MS21 Metal Detector

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in packaged food products.
• Ensuring product safety and compliance with food industry regulations.
• Protecting downstream processing equipment from metal damage.
• Quality control in bakeries, confectioneries, meat processing, and ready-meal production.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed, but units of this type commonly handle high-speed production lines.

Power supply

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

Detection sensitivity

For this class of equipment, sensitivity is typically high, capable of detecting very small metal particles, adjustable based on product effect.

Aperture size

The internal aperture dimensions vary widely, dictating the maximum product size that can pass through. Buyers should confirm exact dimensions with the seller.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Environmental rating

Typically designed to IP65 or higher, suitable for washdown procedures in food production facilities.
