Machine information
The
KMMCS is applicable on any terrain (class I - V) with the exception
of pure rock surface. This means that the KMMCS manages to demine
on skeleton-, sand-, clay-, silt-, or gruff terrain and also succeeds
easily on a surface with rocks up to a size of 20 cm in diameter.
Strong
natural plant cover (bushes, trees with a diameter of 20 cm of chest
height) or solidly frozen soil are no handicap.
Climbing
ability uphill and downhill up to 40 degrees (88 %).
Working
speed between 1,5 - 2,5 km/h.
Working
width 3 meters.
Working
depth infinitely adjustable from 20 cm to 50 cm.
Weight
after fueling: about 35 tons.
Extremly
low surface pressure of only 400 gram per square cm. This is comparable
with a human footprint. Consequentely the KMMCS is applicable on clayey
or muddy surfaces.
The
KMMCS has been tested and certified for all known types of mines up
to 10 kg TNT.
The
clearance reliability is 100 %. This means that after the KMMCS´s
clearing process there has never been found a single functioning explosive
body.
Possible fields of application
Reclamation
of mined war field terrain.
Reclamation
of military training areas. Here the savings in comparison to costly
hand-deming are even greater, as here for the military training areas
of the western industrial nations cheap hand-demining personnel is
usually not available.
Milling
of forest aisles in case of forest fires or for the prevention of
forest fires (as performed in Weisswasser, Germany).
Recultivation
of burned forests: Usually the stumps are laboriously dug out and
created holes must be filled. Remainder of trees must be removed.
In contrast to that the KMMCS disperses the material into the soil.
Plantation
modernisation (sisal, fruit, timber, pineapple, coffee, tea, etc.).
Reclamation
of contaminated soil (milling cutter depth: 1 m (see: Rieselfelder
and Senftenberg, Germany)
Preparation
of construction terrain (streets, traces, pipelines, power lines,
etc.)
The KMMCS has already proven all of theses features in real deployment
on thousands of hectares all over Europe and in parts of Africa.
