Which Tectron Metal Detector Models Are Available?

Tectron Engineering offers two main groups of industrial metal detection equipment: standard industrial metal detectors and specialty metal detection equipment. The standard line includes the Model 50, Model 100, Model DMD 25, Model 5500 E6, and Model 50 Flat Pack. The specialty line includes the Model 8050, Model 6000, Model 9100, and Road Scan. All Tectron detectors are designed to detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metal, and the company states its range covers varying sensitivities for almost any application. If you are narrowing down options before contacting the manufacturer, the list below is the starting point — note that the source material does not publish sensitivity ratings, dimensions, or pricing for individual models, so those details need to come from Tectron directly.

Standard Industrial Metal Detectors

These are the models listed under Tectron's general industrial metal detector lineup:

The Model 50 also appears as the anchor product for Tectron's conveyor metal detector category, described as built to protect equipment in tough industrial environments. According to the site, the conveyor metal detector is designed to detect small tramp metal before it damages equipment, is built for tough mining and aggregate environments, and is flexible and easy to install.

Specialty Metal Detection Equipment

Tectron lists a separate specialty group:

• Model 8050
• Model 6000
• Model 9100
• Road Scan

The source material does not break down what distinguishes each specialty model from the standard line, so treat this as a category list rather than a specification comparison. If your application falls outside a typical conveyor installation, these are the models to ask Tectron about first.

What Applies Across the Whole Range

A few claims apply to all Tectron metal detection equipment, which matters when comparing models:

• Ferrous and non-ferrous detection — every Tectron metal detector is stated to detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metal.
• Varying sensitivities — Tectron says it offers a full range of detectors with varying sensitivities to handle almost any application.
• Installation without cutting the belt — all Tectron metal detection equipment can be installed easily without cutting the belt.
• 3-year warranty — offered across the equipment line.
• Parts and accessories — a full line of industrial metal detector parts and accessories is available, including marking devices that mark the location of tramp metal for easier removal, and clip detectors that let metallic belt clips or splices pass without tripping the detector.

Industries Tectron Serves

Tectron lists the following industry segments for its metal detection equipment:

• Mining & Aggregate
• Recycling
• Wood & Whole Log
• Agriculture
• Power Plants

How to Narrow Down a Model

Because the published material does not include sensitivity figures, aperture sizes, or prices per model, the practical next step is to match your application to a category first:

1. Conveyor line protection in mining or aggregate — start with the conveyor metal detector / Model 50 group.
2. A standard industrial installation — compare the Model 50, Model 100, Model DMD 25, Model 5500 E6, and Model 50 Flat Pack.
3. A non-standard or specialty application — ask about the Model 8050, Model 6000, Model 9100, and Road Scan.
4. Belt clips or splices present — confirm whether a clip detector is needed so splices pass without tripping the detector.
5. Tramp metal removal workflow — consider adding a marking device to flag where the metal was found.

Tectron provides tech support and parts, and the site directs visitors to a contact page for getting in touch. Since model-level specifications and pricing are not published in the source material, request those details directly rather than assuming any model's sensitivity or cost.
