Oretronic is a conveyor tramp metal detector line from Thermo Scientific Ramsey, and the name also turns up written as Oretronics. It identifies metal passing through a defined detection area on a conveyor. We are an independent service company, not Thermo Fisher, and we can assess selected Oretronic equipment, including older systems, subject to the model and the site requirements.
- Oretronic, sometimes written Oretronics, is a Thermo Scientific Ramsey conveyor tramp metal detector line.
- We can assess selected Oretronic equipment, including older systems, subject to the model and site requirements.
- Faults may involve the detector, search coil, belt, splice, wiring, interference, configuration or the surrounding conveyor.
- Passwords and protected settings should only be changed with authorised assistance, and we do not publish access codes.
What does an Oretronic system do?
An Oretronic conveyor metal detector identifies metal passing through a defined detection area on the conveyor, then provides an alarm or a control response according to its configuration and the protection the site needs.
The correct response depends on the equipment, the conveyor arrangement, the material and your operating procedure.
Common Oretronic service issues
Service enquiries usually involve false trips, missed detection, alarm faults, unstable sensitivity, belt or splice signals, search coil problems, wiring, power, communications, or changes to the conveyor and the material.
A symptom on its own does not identify the failed component. The detector, coil, belt, structure and operating environment need assessing together. Our guide on why a conveyor metal detector keeps false tripping covers that pattern in more detail.
What can a service visit include?
We plan the visit with the site, complete inductions, inspect the detector and conveyor, review the alarm history, check the search area and surrounding equipment, test signals, identify faults, complete authorised repairs, and record the findings and recommendations in AIMM, our asset management system, so the detector’s history and next service date are ready for the next visit.
The exact test and calibration method depends on the Oretronic model, the installation and the site requirements, so follow the manufacturer documentation and the authorised procedure.
Passwords and protected access
Some integrators and controllers use passwords or access levels to prevent accidental changes to calibration, sensitivity, configuration or operating settings. Contact Accurate Industries if authorised assistance or access is required.
Need Oretronic support?
We can assist with tramp metal detector inspection, fault finding, repairs and service and spares, including Oretronic and Oretronics equipment where the model and site requirements suit. We also service Thermo Ramsey belt scales and Micro-Tech integrators. Contact the team with the equipment details, the conveyor application and the symptoms you are seeing.
Need the manual for your equipment?
Accurate Industries can provide manuals from our technical library for the equipment covered in this guide. Contact us with the make, model, serial number and software version, if shown, so we can identify and provide the appropriate operating, installation or calibration manual. Email your details or a photo of the equipment label, or contact Accurate Industries to request a manual.
