The founder of the company patents a microsensitive solid-state Metal Detector, which uses the first semiconductor devices available on the market. Used in the textile industry, it detects metal fragments which can accidentally find their way into the textiles being processed, thereby preventing damage to the manufacturing machinery and avoiding production delays.

CEIA is founded as a manufacturer of industrial Metal Detectors and ultrasonic cleaning machines for the gold and silversmith sector.

The growing demand for security at entrances to airports and banks stimulates CEIA to start a major research and development program. This leads CEIA to become a major producer of walk-through and portable Metal Detectors for the detection of weapons carried on a person.

CEIA patents the first walk-through Metal Detector using a column type antenna and helicoidal windings.

CEIA begins development and production of solid-state induction generators for no-contact heat treatment of metals.

CEIA commences production of the new THS series of industrial Metal Detectors, characterized by state-of-the-art performance and standard all-stainless-steel construction.

CEIA patents an innovative gate control that provides combined metal detection and access control for the identification of persons passing through the point of access.

CEIA patents the elliptical column walk-through Metal Detector. This efficient, aesthetically pleasing device can easily and unobtrusively be used in high level government agencies and private corporations. The elliptic detector is later selected for security control operations in the Jubilee 2000 celebration.

The CEIA Quality System is awarded ISO 9001 Certification.

CEIA develops technology for humanitarian and military demining at the request of several international agencies.

In November, CEIA’s “LACE” laboratory is accredited as a “competent body in the matter of electromagnetic compatibility” by the Minister for Communications, a qualification that it still holds today.

CEIA introduces the THS/FB, an integrated system for the inspection of food products which complies with the most stringent requirements of functionality, hygiene, compact size and reliability.

Industrial Metal Detection systems

CEIA THS Metal Detectors detect metal contaminants accidentally present in industrial products with levels of sensitivity, immu-nity to interference and response speeds exceeding the strictest Quality Control Standards.

THS Detectors allow the inter-ception of magnetic and non-magnetic metals, including high-resistivity stainless steel. An automatic tracking function

cancels out any variation in prod-

uct effect caused by the product

under inspection.

The THS Metal Detector’s wide

bandwidth allows maximum sen-

sitivity operation at both high and

low transit speeds. This line of

metal detectors has been adopted

by the leading companies in the food, chemical, textile and phar-maceutical fields.

CEIA THS/PLIndustrial Metal Detector for liquid and viscous products

The THS/PL System is designed for metal contaminant detection in products transported by pipeline, especially meat, soup and preserves.

The THS/MN Metal Detector has been especially designed for the inspection of products in aluminum

foil trays and wrappings.

The THS/3F Multi-frequency Metal Detector is recommended for use on multi-product lines, where the individual products have very different conductivity characteristics.

The TE Digital Metal Detectors are the ideal means of protection for

production lines against accidental damage caused by pieces of metal

which can enter the manufacturing process along with the material

Induction HeatingSystems

For more than 20 years CEIA has been working on the design and manufacture of no-contact Induction Heating Devices for metal treatment. High and medium-frequency generators, control units, optical sensors for measuring temperature and automatic solder-alloy wire supply devices make up the line of products known as the Power Cube Family, which are ideal for industrial processes of heat treatment and braze welding.

The originality of CEIA’s technological solutions has allowed it to pro-duce equipment featuring much-reduced dimensions, extremely

high energy efficiency and long-term reliability. The high performance they offer has con-

tributed to the widespread use of CEIA systems in the most important industrial fields, where they have received the approval of end users and final-product manufacturers.

THE CEIA SYSTEM’S ADVANTAGESNowadays technology allows the use of induction soldering systems to great advantage; such systems, properly controlled, guarantee very fast execution, precision and full repeatability in the soldering process. Inductive heating is based on the supply of energy by means of electromagnetic induction. The heating occurs without physical contact, it involves only the metal parts to be treated and it is characterised by a high efficiency transfer without loss of heat. A further advantage is the very fast execution time without compromising the level of precision, which remains a main factor in automatic soldering processes.

ultrasoniccleaning machines

CEIA’s ultrasonic cleaning machines are used in goldsmithery workshops, dental technicians’ workshops, hospital wards, precision mechanical workshops and eyeglass frame manufacturers.

CEIA specialises in the manufacture of ultra-sonic cleaning machines for cleaning high-grade finished and semi-finished products such as jewellery, silverware and precision mechanical parts. grease residues, abrasive cleaners, oils, dusts, cements and organic residues deposited within the complex con-tours of these objects by processing machin-ery can easily be removed by the ultrasonic cavitation of the cleaning liquid.

Our range of models provides the right solu-tion for all operational requirements, from the small craftsman to production on an industrial scale.

All CEIA ultrasonic cleaning machines are fitted with solid-state generators, high-per-formance piezo-electric transducer units and microprocessor-controlled control sys-tems.
