New Ceia THS21ET/3F Metal Detector

Applications & Use Cases

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

Typical Specifications

Typical aperture size

Varies significantly; for this class, commonly found apertures range from 150mm to 600mm in width and 100mm to 400mm in height, depending on product dimensions.

Detection sensitivity

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

Power supply

Commonly 230V, 50Hz, single-phase, though some larger or integrated systems may require three-phase power.

Construction material

Units of this type typically feature stainless steel construction (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Throughput capacity

Highly dependent on product size and line speed; for this class, units can typically handle conveyor speeds up to 60 metres per minute or more.

Environmental protection

Commonly rated to IP65 or higher, making them suitable for washdown environments.
