Why CEIA Metal Detectors for Liquid Products Are Essential for Modern Food Production

Contamination in liquid food products isn’t just a nuisance — it’s a serious quality and safety concern. Whether you’re working with soups, sauces, dairy, or meats, the risk of metal particles entering your pipeline can’t be ignored. That’s why more producers are turning to metal detectors for liquid applications, and CEIA’s pipeline-integrated systems are leading the way.

Why Use Metal Detectors for Liquid Processing?

Traditional metal detection systems are often tailored to solid or granular products. Liquids and viscous materials bring their own set of challenges — from flow pressure and temperature to product conductivity. CEIA’s pipeline metal detectors are purpose-built to meet those challenges head-on.

They’re designed to:

  • Detect all types of metal contaminants — magnetic, non-magnetic and stainless steel

  • Maintain high sensitivity without compromising on product flow

  • Operate in fail-safe mode to avoid passing contaminants even in the event of a power cut

  • Be easy to clean and quick to maintain, with hygienic stainless steel construction

CEIA’s Integrated Solutions for Liquid Detection

CEIA offers several models suited to different production needs:

🔹 THS/PL21 Series

This is your go-to system for general liquid and viscous products. It features CEIA’s multi-spectrum technology, which boosts sensitivity while cancelling out product effect. Whether you’re pumping tomato paste or yoghurt, this system keeps your line moving and your product clean.

  • Available in standard pipe sizes

  • Constructed from AISI 316L stainless steel

  • Rated up to IP69K for full wash-down environments

  • Compact design with minimal installation space required

🔹 THS/PLV21 Series

Built for applications requiring both detection and automatic rejection, this model includes a fast-acting ejection valve that removes any contaminated material with minimal waste.

  • Designed for high-pressure processing environments

  • FDA and EC 1935/2004 compliant product contact surfaces

  • Easy integration with clipping and bagging machines

  • Local and network connectivity options for full control

🔹 THS/PLV-MEAT21 Series

Specifically created for meat vacuum filler machines, this model is engineered for extreme industrial conditions — high vibration, pressure, and harsh cleaning. It’s robust, reliable, and ready for the most demanding operations.

  • High-visibility alarm indicators

  • Stainless steel cabinet with fully sealed electronics

  • Simple to clean and resistant to high-pressure hose-downs

Smarter Detection with Auto-Learn and Auto-QC™

CEIA’s detectors are more than just hardware. They come with smart software that streamlines setup and maintenance:

  • Auto-Learn: Calibrates the system in a single pass and adapts in real-time during production to maintain peak sensitivity.

  • Auto-QC™: Automates periodic test procedures, reducing the need for manual checks and saving time and labour costs — while still logging every verification.

These features make CEIA’s metal detectors for liquid products not only accurate but also highly efficient.

Built for Compliance, Designed for Daily Use

All systems are built using food-safe materials and comply with FDA and European Commission regulations. With a design focused on hygiene and durability, CEIA detectors are easy to inspect, easy to clean, and hard to beat when it comes to performance.

Whether you’re filling jars of jam or pumping protein through a high-volume meat line, CEIA’s metal detectors for liquid products offer peace of mind, operational efficiency, and total confidence in your quality control.
