The THS/FBB and THS/MBB systems are CEIA’s premier solutions for the in-line inspection of packaged products, such as vials and bottles. These systems integrate an ultra-high sensitivity Metal Detector onto a conveyor belt equipped with an automatic ejector, ensuring flawless contaminant detection. They are characterized by high immunity to environmental interference and advanced Product Effect Auto-Learn technology, which eliminates false alarms. The technical specifications are completed by digitally adjustable belt speeds, integrated AUTOTEST and AUTO-QC functions, and full compliance with UL/CSA standards, ensuring maximum safety and operational continuity.

Liquids

The inspection of liquid and viscous pharmaceutical products (such as syrups, injectable solutions, gels, or creams) represents a technical challenge that CEIA addresses with specific solutions, differentiated according to the production process stage: the control of bulk product in transit through pipelines or the control of already packaged products.
In-line inspection of liquids and creams: THS/PLV21
- For products moving inside pipelines, the reference system is the THS/PLV21 series. This model is designed for integration into liquid and viscous product lines.
- Integration and Hygiene: Thanks to integrated flanges and AISI 316L stainless steel construction, the system guarantees a perfect seal and compliance with FDA regulations. It is designed to withstand intensive cleaning cycles (Cleaning-In-Place - CIP) and features IP66/IP69K protection ratings, essential in environments where constant cleaning is required.
Precision and Waste Reduction: Multi-spectrum technology allows for the compensation of the product effect typical of conductive liquids, maintaining high sensitivity. In the event of contamination, the system activates a rapid ejection that isolates only the minimum amount of product necessary, safeguarding production yield.
Inspection of packaged products: THS/FBB and THS/MBB
- When the liquid or viscous product has already been placed in its final container (vials, bottles, or plastic tubes), inspection takes place on a conveyor belt using the THS/FBB and THS/MBB models.
- Stability and Versatility: These systems allow containers to be transported with maximum stability. The FBB (flat belt) model is ideal for small vials requiring a perfectly flat supporting surface, while the MBB (modular belt) model facilitates maintenance and the handling of different loads.
Product Compensation: The liquid inside the vials can generate signals that interfere with detection (Product Effect). CEIA conveyor belt systems use self-learning algorithms and automatic tracking to cancel out these signals, ensuring high sensitivity.
Common advantages in liquid applications:
- Total Security: Both solutions offer AUTOTEST and AUTO-QC functions, constantly verifying that the system is calibrated and functioning according to pharmaceutical standards.
- Traceability: Every detection or rejection event is recorded, providing the necessary data for compliance with quality and safety regulations.
