    • Superior detection performance for magnetic, non-magnetic, and stainless metal contaminants
    • Highly adaptable to the variety of products being inspected
    • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance: Data security, data integrity, data traceability
    • Rugged AISI 316L stainless steel construction with food-grade plastic parts (EU, FDA compliant)
    • Good washdown structure

    The THS/G21 Series is designed to inspect powders, granules, and other bulk materials that are conveyed in a free-fall manner through tubing and piping.

    When equipped with the deflector, the THS/G21 operates as a system that detects and removes all metal contaminants, including magnetic and non-magnetic metals.

    Alternatively, when mounted on a packaging machine, the THS/G21 system can send a command to double package the contaminated product. The product can then be automatically identified and removed from the production process.

    The digital analysis of the signal provided by the antenna enables very high levels of sensitivity, interference immunity, and operational stability.

    The extremely fast detection speed of the THS/G21 allows you to remove only the contaminated part of the product without slowing down the production flow.

    The system is designed to work with external control systems via a direct connection or communication network.

  • Multispectral technology (MS21 version)
    Developed exclusively by CEIA, it is a unique metal detection technology that optimizes detection sensitivity for all metal contaminants across a wide range of products while minimizing Product Effect.

    By recognizing the different frequency responses of conductive products and metals, this innovative technology cancels out product effects and maintains high performance against all types of metal contaminants, including magnetic and non-magnetic metals.

    The Auto-Learn feature in the CEIA multispectral metal detector provides the equivalent of hundreds of training passes in a traditional method. It explores the entire available frequency band to find the optimal operating conditions, resulting in superior detection performance.

    FDA 21 Part 11 compliance
    The THS 21 metal detector series is a highly sensitive and precise measuring instrument. Data on each detection and emission is stored in event memory and can be used to prove production quality, inspection performance, programming work, and even regular functional tests with standard test samples.

    FDA Code Title 21 Part 11 sets strict standards for programming access and computer data protection, and these standards are fully reflected in the CEIA THS 21 Series firmware.

    This fulfills the requirements for security, integrity, and traceability.

    Unique global Auto-Learn system
    The THS 21 Series features a unique Auto-Learn system for food products, providing maximum sensitivity for all metals simultaneously with just one training pass. This system optimizes detection sensitivity for all metals with the same speed and precision as hundreds of training passes performed with traditional methods, providing a level of accuracy and efficiency never before achieved.

    For products where the product signal changes or fluctuates even after an autorun, the THS 21 Series offers an advanced autorun feature that continues to detect metals during production while simultaneously collecting the product signal in the background. When the recording ends, operators can analyze the data immediately, or at a later point in time when the line is stopped to avoid interrupting production.

    Data added during the background autorun is analyzed alongside existing autorun data, and detection parameters are modified to offset fluctuating product signals.

    Real-time embedded self-calibration control
    The Self-Calibration control function ensures maximum repeatability and consistent performance over time and environmental changes. It sends specific signals to the metal detector's transmit and receive chains to continuously monitor detection characteristics and continuously compensate for fluctuations caused by environmental factors. The result is system stability, consistency of detection performance, and neutralization of product effects.

    Automated validation of installation quality and environmental compliance
    The THS 21 Series introduces a new tool for installation and maintenance technicians to measure the environmental suitability of metal detectors.

    Metrics include general mechanical and electromagnetic environmental conformance, specific electromagnetic conformance, and an automated check for the degree of metal interference from the conveyor belt.

    This is especially important given the high sensitivity levels of the THS 21 metal detector series.

    BT wireless connectivity features
    With the THS/21 Series, connecting a maintenance technician's computer locally no longer requires physical access to the inside of the detector or the use of inconvenient connection cables.

    The BT wireless communication connection can be used for programming, signal monitoring with the CEIA MD-Scope program, and transferring data stored in the metal detector event memory.

    AUTOTEST and AUTO-QC test features
    Industrial metal detectors for food applications typically have basic diagnostic capabilities based on transmitter/receiver signal monitoring.

    However, this type of diagnostics cannot detect aging, thermal drift, and other subtle deviations. These factors can lead to reduced sensitivity, which can lead to undetected metal contamination.

    The THS/21 and THS/MS21 Series metal detectors come standard with advanced AUTOTEST capabilities and offer the following features.

    • Continuous real-time background monitoring and stabilization of amplitude and phase response for each operating frequency
    • Continuous compensation for environmental and aging changes
    • Provide immediate alerts when out-of-baseline conditions persist

    In addition to the AUTOTEST function, the THS/21 and THS/MS21 detectors can be programmed to automatically perform periodic verification of the calibration status. This feature is called AUTO-QC TEST.

    With AUTO-QC TEST, you can reduce or eliminate manual calibration verification by operators.

    The metal detector provides a programmable output that can be connected to a conveyor line stop to prevent product ejection and waste during automated testing.

    CEIA AUTO-QC TEST provides an effective calibration check and can programmatically reduce manual verification from 0 to 1001 TP3T, leading to a reduction in.
