DESCRIPTION
2.1 General
description
CEIA THS inspection systems detect metals with high detection sensitivity, for industrial use in
inspecting food or other compatible products (see paragraph 2.1.3). They are available in two
versions:
- Metal Detector: Detection Probe with power supply unit
- Integrated system: Metal Detector integrated on a conveyor belt system
2.1.1 Metal
Detector
This system is designed for installation on a production line suitably set up by the customer or the
installer. It consists of a Detection Probe and a Power Supply Unit only.
The Detection Probe generates an electromagnetic field and receive, at the same time, a signal
produced by the variation of the field itself, upon interaction with metal fragments, contained in the
product to be inspected, in transit through the tunnel.
Some products, according to their own chemical-phisical characteristics, may presents magnetic and
/ or electrical properties such as to also interact with the generated field, determining a signal called
“product effect”: in this case, the Metal Detector allow to perform an automatic procedure to record
the product characteristics, in order to minimize the effect and, at the same time, to set the optimal
threshold for the discrimination of the signal due to metal, with the consequential signals to all devices
connected to the Metal Detector.
The level of a signal produced by a metallic fragment depends on the metal kind, on its dimensions
and volume, and may vary according to its orientation during the transit through the tunnel: therefore
CEIA, according to the model and to the product type, supply proper metallic samples which the
spherical geometry and type are certified to guarantee the maximum repeatibility on Metal Detector
performance evaluation.
All models are available in two different subclasses, the
21E Series
and the
21 Series
, with different
features and characteristics, as stated below:
