Quarry looks at the new agreement for Conductix-Wampfler Australia and what it means for the quarrying sector.
There are plenty of ways ferrous metals could find their way into a crusher. Dropped tools, broken equipment, or foreign materials can find their way into the material stream and ruin one of the site’s largest investments.
If a crusher is down, productivity is ground to a halt for the quarry and its customers.
Research from the US Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and Virginia State University showed a “noticeable cost reduction” when fewer pieces of equipment are repaired with the right maintenance approach.
The Metcorr 117C tramp metal detector is one way for quarries and mines, especially operations focused on basalt, limestone, coal, gold ore, bauxite and nickel, to avoid lengthy crusher downtime.
“The Metcorr 117C tramp metal detector is a rugged detection system built for harsh conditions with minimal maintenance and servicing,” Conductix-Wampfler Australia’s state sales manager for Queensland and the Northern Territory, Chris Hobl, told Quarry.
The Metcorr 117C tramp metal detector features two identical coil sets that create a magnetic field. These are responsible for exciting the eddy currents in the targeted metal objects which the machine detects once the signal breaches the Metcorr 117C’s detection limit.
The unit is equipped with an upper swing bar which enables protection if the coil becomes redundant within the unit. There is also an optional fibreglass coil mounting set, which can ensure the coil is optimally mounted for operation.

The new agreement will enable quarry operators to upgrade their operations with an industrial metal detector. According to its new distributor, it can improve product quality, protect machines and increase productivity.
“Depending on your specific conveyed material and what you are looking to detect, the supplied electronics cabinet can control all settings and sensitivities to ensure your desired level of detection is achieved every time,” Hobl said.
