Ceia THS/MS21 Metal Detector

• Detecting metallic contaminants in packaged food products to ensure product safety and compliance.
• Inspecting bulk materials such as grains, powders, or liquids for unwanted metal fragments.
• Used in pharmaceutical production lines to verify tablets or capsules are free from metallic foreign bodies.
• Quality control in non-food industries like textiles or plastics to protect machinery and product integrity.

Typical detection sensitivity

Commonly capable of detecting ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants, with sensitivity varying based on aperture size and product effect.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial single-phase power, commonly 230V AC, 50Hz.

Throughput

Designed for integration into conveyor systems, offering throughput rates that align with typical production line speeds for packaged goods.

Construction material

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

Operating environment

Typically rated for industrial environments, often with an IP65 protection level for washdown capability.

Control interface

Commonly features a user-friendly interface, often a touchscreen, for parameter adjustment and data logging.
