- Full compliance with HACCP criteria
- Detection and ejection of magnetic, non-magnetic and stainless steel metals contaminants
- Automatic learning & tracking of product effect
- Digitally-adjustable belt speed
- Structure and components in AISI 316L and food-compatible plastic parts (EU, FDA compliant)
- Multiple ejection systems available: belt stop, air blast, pusher arm and retractable
- Maximum flexibility: all components are reversible
Multi-spectrum technology
Exclusively developed by CEIA, this is a unique metal detection technology that both optimizes sensitivity to all metal contaminants and minimizes product effect in a very wide range of possible products. By recognizing the different frequency response of conductive products and metals, this innovative technology cancels product effect and maintains high performance levels for all types of metal contaminants, both magnetic and non-magnetic.
Exclusive auto-learn system
- The AUTO-LEARN system for food products provides simultaneous maximum sensitivity to all metals starting from a single learning transit.
- The system allows optimization of the detection sensitivity to all metals with the maximum speed and precision, equivalent to hundreds of conventional learning transits: these results in levels of precision and effi ciency have never been obtained before.
- For products with changing or varying product signal after autolearn, the THS/21 Series includes an advanced autolearn function that runs in the background, to capture this product signal during normal production while still detecting metal. When the recording is ended, the operator has the option to analyze the data immediately, or wait until a later time when the line is stopped so as not to interrupt production.
- The data that was added during the background autolearn is analyzed, along with the original autolearn data, and the detection parameters are modified in order to also cancel the varying product signal.
