The THS/PH210-FFV Metal Detector extends the industry-leading performance of the THS/PH210 series to the specific inspection of pharmaceutical powders. Featuring a 50% increase in volumetric detection capability, it ensures superior safety standards for granular and powdery products. It includes the FFV ejection valve, engineered for the highest hygienic requirements, allowing for manual assembly and disassembly without tools. Operation is streamlined via a 7-inch adjustable touch screen, while advanced sensors monitor valve position and air pressure in real time, guaranteeing precise and reliable rejection.

Powders and Granules

The THS/PH21-FFV series Metal Detectors are specifically designed for the inspection of Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical powders and granules in gravity fall transit. Powders require special flow management to avoid buildup, cross-contamination, or product dispersion in the work environment.
The main application involves the integration of a high-speed ejection valve, which allows for the instantaneous diversion of the contaminated powder flow without interrupting the production process. The 210 series technology ensures extremely high sensitivity, detecting tiny metal contaminants even within large volumes of granular product.
Key features of CEIA Metal Detectors for powder and granule inspection include:
- Total Hygiene: Thanks to tool-free valve assembly and disassembly, cleaning and sanitization operations are rapid, minimizing downtime during batch changes.
- Safety in Hazardous Environments: In the presence of potentially flammable fine powders, the THS/PH21-FFV series can be supplied with ATEX Zone 21 certification, ensuring maximum operational safety.
- Monitoring of Critical Parameters: Dedicated sensors monitor compressed air pressure and the ejection valve position in real time, ensuring that the expulsion mechanism is always ready and responsive.
- Digital Precision: Self-learning functions and Product Effect tracking eliminate false rejects caused by powder density or humidity, focusing exclusively on metals.
The THS/FBB and THS/MBB systems extend the precision of CEIA Metal Detectors to the inspection of packaged pharmaceutical products, such as plastic or glass vials and bottles. Unlike gravity fall applications, integration on a conveyor belt allows for the management of products ready for shipping or in intermediate packaging stages.
