Humanitarian Demining Equipment
"SLASHBUSTER"® attachments
are used on specialized demining
equipment for vegetation clearance
prior to demining operations. Chosen
for their durability and versatility, "SLASHBUSTER"® brush cutters effectively remove vegetation while withstanding explosions from anti-personnel mines.
This low-cost method promises to replace
conventional hand treatment of vegetation,
which results in many annual deaths
and disfigurements.
