WORLD’S ONLY METAL DETECTOR
WITH MULTI-SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY
Food processing and
packaging manufacturer
Heat and Control
understands the
importance of choosing the right
inspection systems. One safety
recall event is enough to ruin
years spent establishing a good
reputation. The costs associated
with a product recall are much
more than just loss, return or
exchange of defective products - it
can mean loss of brand rapport and
customer loyalty too.
Detect
Metal detection is an inspection
process that can occur at several
points throughout your production
line. The primary purpose of
installing metal detection is to
identify ferrous (magnetic) and nonferrous
metal contaminants in your
product, for example aluminium
and stainless steel.

Reject
This is primarily for the quality
control of your product, consumer
protection and to protect the
machinery in your production line.
The smallest metal fragments can
cause machinery to malfunction
and subsequently cause production
downtime while repairs are
performed.
Heat and Control and CEIA can
help food manufacturers comply
with global safety standards and
meet the demands of quality and
safety conscious retailers. You
can protect your consumer, your
brand, and your production line by
using the most sophisticated metal
detector in the market.
Protect
CEIA metal detectors are what Heat
Control describes as the world’s
only metal detectors using cutting
edge multi-spectrum technology.
CEIA’s innovative technology
uses multiple frequencies
simultaneously, meaning that they
can increase sensitivity, reduce
false rejects and detect thin metal
fragments.
A metal detector that uses only
one frequency struggles to
accommodate signal variation,
making it unsuitable for inspecting
mixed composition product types
and products that may vary in
temperature. This is why CEIA
developed the cutting edge multispectrum
technology.
This technology optimises the
sensitivity to metal contaminants,
irrespective of the temperature
or food composition, ensuring
maximum elimination of the
product effect.
Integrated Auto-Learn functionality
allows CEIA metal detectors to be
easily set up for new products all
the while ensuring high levels of
sensitivity. With minimal manual
adjustment, the metal detector can
quickly learn the properties of any
new product and informs the user
on how many passes it needs in
order to understand and map the
new product.
This feature outperforms
other metal detectors which
experience difficulty inspecting
non-homogenous products.
Inferior, traditional metal detectors
commonly trigger ‘false positives’
during metal detection, usually
when food composition and
mineral levels incorrectly indicate
the presence of metal. This leads
to a perfectly good product being
rejected and the loss of a profitable,
saleable product.
Heat and Control understands that
metal detection specifications need
to vary according to the product,
manufacturing process and the
Accurately differentiate between product effect
and metal contaminants with no need to reduce
sensitivity with CEIA metal detectors
