Vallon’s innovative mine detector

April 01-15, 2011

German company Vallon has unveiled its latest mine detection system; one of its advantages is that it can detect mines made with no metal parts (the device can detect metal-free particles at a depth of 40 cm, and metal objects at greater depths). Vallon also has showcased a Minehound VMR2 dual mine detector to partners in Azerbaijan.

The device’s electromagnetic induction device (EMI) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) allow for the detection of metal and metal-free objects. Each detector weighs approximately eight pounds and uses rechargeable lithium polymer cells, or an optional power supply of 4 D-size batteries. VMR2 is one of many detection devices offered by Vallon.
