Our Standard Product Line of Industrial Metal Detectors is primarily designed to protect downstream equipment from costly tramp metal damage and resulting productivity loss. These detectors are available for conveyor belt sizes from 18 to 72 inches in width, standard. Model T2000 available from 18 to 48 inch widths, with Models 8600 and 5500 available up to 72 inches. The Models 8600 and 5500 can be custom units, built to any non-standard belt or belts larger than 72 inches. The antenna above and below the belt design (aperture design) provides detection capability ranging from minimum sizes of 2 (two)-inch cubes to 0.1 inch cube (carbon steel). Metal Splices or Repair Clips can be used with the metal detectors.

Prefabricated to fit standard CEMA conveyors, the T-2000 is available for next day shipment. Economically priced and with many of the same safety and quality features of other Tectron models, the T-2000 detects both magnetic and non-magnetic tramp metals greater than a 2" cube. The T-2000 has uniform sensitivity, thus is not affected by the height of conveyed material on the belt. Available up to and including 48 inches.

Designed for use with most conveyed materials, this detector ignores highly conductive ores and steel cord belts while detecting magnetic and/or non-magnetic tramp metal. Considered "the workhorse" of Tectron's metal detectors, the Model 8600 is in use across industry lines and depending on application, will detect tramp metal as small as 1" cube. The Model 8600 has specially designed circuitry for operation in environments where electrical storms are common and blocks incoming noise signals to reduce the chance of false tripping.

The Model 5500 is a high sensitivity metal detector developed specifically for use where the detection of small pieces of metal is required. Depending on application, the maximum detector sensitivity can be as small as 0.1" cube. The receiver antenna is shielded to minimize interference from surrounding metal and airborne electrical transmissions. Designed to detect magnetic, non-magnetic, ferrous, and non-ferrous tramp metals. The Model 5500 is a preferred choice for applications involving stainless steel and other hard to detect metals.

Our specialty products are solutions to specific customer applications unable to be met by our standard products.  Every special product is not listed here as Tectron’s success in providing solutions for tough applications continually expands our line of products. Our application skills and design knowledge can provide a specific solution for your needs.

This unit is comprised of a single antenna for mounting underneath a conveyor belt.   The Model 5700 is best suited for applications requiring an clear space above the conveyor belt due to the odd shaped conveyed material or material of varying height.  Optimum detection depends on the metal lying on or in close to the belt.  Maximum detector capability is dependent on multiple factors and should be evaluated for each application.

Designed specifically for applications where the detection of small pieces of metal is required and the area above the belt must remain unobstructed.  The Model 9300 detects both magnetic and non-magnetic tramp metals and can be sized to suit almost any installation.

Designed to prevent conveyor belt piercing by long rods (such as roof bolts) or jamming of the transfer point, the Model 6000 selectively detects long metal objects of a given diameter and length as well as normal tramp metals greater than the given rod diameter.  As with most Tectron units, the detector is also compatible with fabric or steel cord conveyor belts, and belts with metal splices.

Has the unique ability to detect and discriminate between non-magnetic and magnetic tramp metals.  Typically, the Model 8050 is installed on a conveyor system in conjunction with a magnetic separator.  The detector can be set to detect all non-magnetic tramp metals and those pieces of magnetic tramp metal, which are too large for or missed by the magnet.

The Model 9100 is designed for applications where large sensing apertures and high metal sensitivity are required.  It is particularly suited to scanning whole logs on conveyors or chutes.  Maximum detector sensitivity is generally 1.5% of the aperture height.  The Model 9100 has shielded receiver and transmitter antennae to minimize interference from surrounding metal and airborne electrical transmissions.
