CEIA is one of the only major inspection manufacturers in the world that builds metal detectors and nothing else. That single-minded focus lets CEIA pour its R&D budget into detection science — including technology transferred from its military and security divisions — and bring capabilities to the food and pharmaceutical market years ahead of competitors.
In 2009 CEIA introduced Multi-Spectrum Technology to the food industry. Rather than testing one frequency at a time, Multi-Spectrum detectors apply a broad spectrum of frequencies simultaneously and continuously, accurately separating true metal contaminants from 'product effect' (wet, salty, or conductive products that fool conventional detectors). The result: full sensitivity on difficult products with virtually zero false rejections. Star Packaging keeps a CEIA multi-spectrum unit in our demo lab — we'll prove it on your product before you buy, or rent-to-own it on your own line.

Open the Interactive Line Builder →Flagship multi-spectrum detector for wet, conductive, and foil-adjacent products. Detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel at extreme sensitivity.
High-sensitivity detectors for dry and packaged products at economical price points.
Tablet, capsule, and powder inspection with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant data integrity.
Configurations for packaged goods, pumped liquids/slurries, and gravity-fed bulk product.
Star Packaging keeps CEIA food metal detectors available for short-notice rental — ideal for retailer audits, seasonal lines, or covering a down unit.
| Feature | Advantage | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Spectrum simultaneous frequency analysis | Distinguishes product effect from real metal contamination in a single continuous inspection | Run wet, salty, or chilled products at full sensitivity — near-zero false rejects means less wasted good product and fewer line stops |
| Metal-detection-only company | R&D investment concentrated on one technology | You get detection performance that reaches the market years before diversified competitors |
| Auto-learn, self-calibration & continuous auto-test | The detector characterizes each product and verifies itself automatically | Faster changeovers, consistent QA documentation, and less dependence on operator skill |
| AISI 316L stainless construction, IP66/IP69K | Withstands high-pressure washdown and harsh sanitation chemicals | Long service life in wet food plants; HACCP and GMP compliant out of the box |
| 500-product memory, 40 password-protected users, 21 CFR Part 11 | Complete data security, integrity, and traceability | Breeze through customer and regulatory audits with electronic records already in place |
Industries served: Food, dairy, meat & poultry, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, personal care, contract packaging
Every false reject sends good, sellable product to rework or the bin. Drag the sliders to your line's numbers — modern detection technology drives this to near zero.
