WG325-200 Mine Clearance Vehicle Hitch System

The WG325-200 is a cost effective solution to provide a vehicle mounted mine clearance system that can hitch up to existing vehicles. The system is purpose built to fit the following types of vehicles:

• JCB;
• Fork lift;
• Hummer;
• Tank;
• Military Truck.

The WG325-200 (as seen in the picture above) consists of a 3.0m flail that hitches to the vehicle and is connected to the 200HP engine that is hitched at the rear of the vehicle. Once hitched up and the controls connected, the vehicle is ready to carry out its operation.

The vehicle effectively clears an area of land of any land mines that may be present by the WG325-200 flails pounding the ground. Any land mines that the system comes in contact with are detonated, leaving the ground clear of explosive devices.

In addition to the flail attachment, the WG325-200 can come equipped with a tiller option, whereby the system can work its way through loose ground such as sand andsoil, sifting through the land and detonating any land mines that it comes in contact with.

System Operation

Mine clearance is carried out by flailing and tilling.

Flailing

The image shows the flayer in action. This method of mine clearance is suitable for the following terrain types:

• Tarmac;
• Concrete;
• Dirt Track;
• Desert;
• Agricultural land.

Milling/ Tilling

Milling or tilling is designed for use on agricultural/ soft or desert land. Milling produces much less dust than flailing (particularly when used across desert areas). Tiling is best likened to a form of ploughing the ground and detonating any mines present

The Heavy Duty Miller is suitable for the following terrains:

• Dirt Track;
• Desert;
• Agricultural land.

The WG325-200 engine is connected to the main frame via 4 pins and hydraulics via quick release coupling allowing the engine / hydraulics to be removed in 15 minutes.
A short control cable connects the cabin to the engine management system and supplies a feed back to the operator.

The control panel has a single lever joystick incorporating a transmission control for track operation forward, reverse, left and right and single lever joystick for boom and carriage raise, lower and tilt raise, lower.

The engine monitoring system is a separate control panel and is situated on the right hand side of the cabin; this controls the oil, water, air, warning lights and alarms and shuts down the engine when a warning or fault has been given

Once the flails have been started up and set to the ground, the operation is ready to commence. Execution of mine clearance is a simple task, and the WG325-200 makes the process both safe and simple.

System Engine Safety Features

The engine of the WG325-200 is controlled by an advanced management system. This operation insures essential control of engine oil and water levels, and makes sure that over heating doesn't take place. In such a scenario, the management system would shut down the engine.

The system is also fitted with an air cleaner with a warning indicator. When illuminated, the operator will need to stop and clean the air cleaner. If any of these task are not completed the engine will shut down.

The air-cleaner turbo removes large particles and a two stage filter system, an outer filter to remove course dust and an inner filter to remove fine dust. The exhauster is to remove dust from the air-cleaner saving down time.
