Best Metal Detection Solution for compliance with FDA Title 21CFR110
requirements on manufacturing, packing or holding human food
Subpart E (Production and Process Control) of the FDA Code Title 21 CFR110 requires
that effective measures shall be taken to protect against the inclusion of metal in
food. CEIA THS 21 Metal Detection Systems offer detection, construction quality and
reliability characteristics that make them the most suitable and effective solution to
automatic elimination of metal contaminants.

FDA 21 Part 11 Compliant New Global Auto-Learn System provides

The THS 21 Metal Detector Series is a high-sensitivity, high-

User Name and Password, under the control of the System
Administrator, who programmes the user profile and associ-
ates with each user the functions available to him/her. The
requirements regarding Security, Integrity and Traceability
are therefore satisfied.

Continuous embedded Self-Calibration control

for maximum repeatability and performance
consistency over time and with environmental
changes

By means of specific signals sent to the transmission and re-

ception chain of the Metal Detector, constant monitoring of
the detection characteristics is carried out, with consequent
constant compensation for any variations caused by environ-
mental factors. The result is system stability and constancy in
detection performance and product effect neutralization.

Special electronic stimuli are sent to the transmission and THS 21 Series introduces new tools for the installation and
reception chain of the THS 21 Metal Detector Series, caus- maintenance technicians which allow them to measure the

Modern, rugged and user friendly interface

� Industrial rate design

� Rapid data entry with extended keyboard
� Easy to read, high-contrast graphic display
� Rugged, antivandalic stainless steel keyboard
The THS 21 Metal Detector Series keeps the full compatibility with program-
ming and parameter selection procedures already implemented in earlier
versions of the THS. In addition, there is a new organic graphic display with
extremely high contrast (3000:1) and a viewing angle up to 180°, and an ex-
tended alphanumeric keypad for quick keystrokes.

� Quick Access Function

A new function, simply activated by pressing a dedicated key, allows the most
frequently-used functions to be directly recalled. These functions are pro-
grammable by the operator, and maintain the access protection criteria ac-
cording to FDA Title 21 Part 11 requirements.

� Large Product Memory: 500+ entries with easy

alphabetical sorting and pattern matching
A capacious incorporated memory allows over 500 products to be stored, each
identifiable by a specific alphanumeric string. The products are automatically
listed in alphabetical order, and searches are facilitated by the progressive rec-
ognition of the characters selected on the keypad.

Bluetooth Connectivity

In the THS 21 Series, local connection to the maintenance
technician’s computer no longer requires physical access to
the interior of the detector or the use of unwieldy connec-
