VMXC1-3 – Metal Detector

Metal Detector for Submunition and UXO

  • Optimized ergonomics for long-term operation in humanitarian and military ordnance removal
  • VALLON UXO Optimization
  • Differentiating ferrous and non-ferrous metals
  • High-efficiency soil compensation
  • Easily noticeable alarm indication (audio/visual/vibration)
  • Button operated pinpoint function

The VMXC1-3 UXO detector has been developed specifically for the detection of relatively large objects containing metal, such as submunition, grenades and shells.

The special VALLON UXO firmware provides the basis for use in this demanding field of application. This supports the discrimination of ferrous from non-ferrous metal.

The well-balanced mechanical design ensures low-fatigue work, even during assignments lasting several hours. The VMXC1-3 is especially well-suited to work in very lateritic mineralized soils that trigger too many false alarms for magnetometers.

Suitable for following searches ...

UXO* :  Suited for searching for metal parts (such as shells, grenades, submunitions, etc.) down to moderate depths. Distinguishes between ferrous and non-ferrous metal.
