Across Australian mines, where high Magnetite content ore and tramp ferrous and non-ferrous elements pose constant challenges, industrial operations can face unnecessary shutdowns if tramp metal detectors are not correctly and regularly calibrated.
Unwanted tramp metal that goes undetected can wreak havoc on equipment – like crushers, mills and conveyors – leading to costly downtime, repairs, and production loss
So how can you protect your operations and ensure they run smoothly, even in the toughest environments?
Ramsey by SRO Technology tramp metal detectors (TMDs) – including the Oretronic IV Control are designed to detect tramp metal in high ferrous , providing accurate detection in the demanding conditions found across many Western Australia mine sites, and beyond. These inspection systems provide an economical and reliable means to protect expensive crushers, conveyors and other process equipment from damage.
Why detection of tramp metal matters
Tramp metal is one of the most common – and costly – threats to bulk material handling and processing plants.
From broken equipment to unplanned downtime, even small pieces of stray ferrous material can cause serious damage. A conveyor belt metal detector can be the first line of defence against tramp metal entering crushers or mills.
That’s why reliable inspection equipment like Ramsey by SRO Technology Oretronic IV Control Tramp Metal Detector is essential to protect your Crushers or other expensive downstream equipment.
Performance of TMDs in high magnetite content applications
Many other tramp detection systems struggle in high magnetite content ores where background noise and the finite size of materials can mask the presence of tramp metal.
The Ramsey by SRO Technology Oretronic IV Control Tramp Metal Detector is engineered to cut through this interference, using advanced measurement technology to distinguish real threats from harmless ore signals.
This ensures reliable detection, even in harsh mining and quarrying environments.

TMDs – the best choice for high ferrous ores
In high ferrous areas, like the Pilbara Iron Ore Mines in Western Australian mines, the risk of damage from stray tramp metal increases significantly. Choosing the right metal detector for mining operations is critical in harsh environments where ores with high metal content can mask the presence of tramp metal.
A tramp metal detector is built to identify both small and large ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants, even when buried in material flow.
With precise TMD calibration, operators can fine-tune sensitivity to suit their application, ensuring accurate detection without unnecessary stoppages.
