THS/PLV21 series

THE CEIA integrated systems are especially designed for metal contaminant detection in products transported by pipeline especially meat, soup, preserves…

The carefully selected materials used in construction do not interact with food products, and thus do not modify or alter their composition. The design of these systems incorporates a fast reject valve drive response time to detect and reject the contaminant without slowing down the product flow.

The construction guarantees quick, easy cleaning of the components that are in contact with the product. The technological choices made by CEIA allow the parts in contact with the product to be disassembled and maintained in a short time.

he systems operate in fail-safe mode, thus avoiding the risk of contaminants passing through even when the system is deactivated or when the electrical power supply is interrupted.

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 efficiency 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.

AUTOTEST and AUTO-QC™ TEST functions

Industrial Metal Detectors for food application are usually equipped with basic diagnostic functions based on their emitter/receiver signals monitoring. This type of diagnosis is not able to detect aging as well as thermal drift and other sources of minor deviations. Any of the above may result on a sensitivity reduction that could lead to non-detection of metal contamination.

• THS/21 & THS/MS21 series metal detectors are natively equipped with an advanced autotest function ensuring the following features
• Continuous background real-time monitoring and stabilization of the amplitude and phase response for each working frequency
• Continuous compensation of environmental and age-related changes
• Immediate alerting in case of permanent out of standard conditions

AUTO-QC™

In addition to the AUTOTEST function, THS/21 and THS/MS21 detectors can be programmed so that periodic verifi cations of the calibration are carried out automatically. This feature is called AUTO-QC™ TEST.

Benefits

• The AUTO-QC TEST allows the manual verification of calibration by the operator to be reduced or eliminated
• The METAL DETECTOR provides a programmable output that can be connected to the conveyor line stop during the AUTO-QC test to avoid product ejection and waste during automatic test
• CEIA AUTO-QC TEST provides an effective calibration check along with a programmable 0 ÷ 100 % reduction of the manual verifications, resulting in a corresponding reduction of: labour cost, accidental product contamination, product waste
