MODEL 8050 Metal Detector—The Discriminator

The Tectron model 8050 metal detector is the only pulsed eddy current metal detector that is
able to differentiate between magnetic and non-magnetic metals. Originally developed for
iron ore mines to work in conjunction with an electromagnet, the model 8050 comes with an
output for indicating that non-magnetic metal is detected, and can also be outfitted with a
magnet activation circuit to turn on a downstream electromagnet for automatic removal of the
magnetic tramp metal.

Why Tectron Engineering?

Keeping production up and running is essential to your
operation. Equipment damage caused by tramp metal not
only costs you time and money in replacing damaged
equipment, but most importantly it costs you production
time. Tectron Metal Detectors are designed to protect ex-
pensive crushers, grinders, saws and other downstream
equipment from metallic contaminants while minimizing
false trips. Tectron offers a wide variety of detectors and
sensitivities to choose from so you can be sure that you’re
getting the right detector for the application, all with a 3
year warranty. Manufacturing the most reliable metal de-
tectors for bulk material handling is all we do, and with over
40 years experience, you can rely on the most trusted
name in the industry.
