Metal Detectors For UXO Detection
(Unexploded Ordnance)

Detection of ferromagnetic UXO (unexploded ordnance) Detection, localization and mapping of unexploded ammunition, explosives and chemical pollutants in ferromagnetic containers or with ferromagnetic constituents.

The FOERSTER FEREX® product line is used the world over for this. These detectors number amongst the most modern hand-held detectors for underground, underwater and in-bore hole detection and for vehicle-aided detection.

FEREX 4.032

A fully revised generation of FEREX instruments for detection of ferromagnetic objects, based on the superior sensor technology of the FEREX 4.021 (Mk 26). The essential features are as follows:

  • Maintenance-free sensor tensioning strap technology, adjusted for life
  • High detection sensitivity owing to the performance-enhancing, larger base clearances of the differential magnetometer
  • 8 linear measuring ranges; one logarithmic measuring range; resolution 0.3 nT
  • 6 operating modes, i.e. detection which can be adapted to the detection task by signal filtration
  • This is one of the lightest, hand-held detectors in its performance class: the ready-to-use instrument weighs only approx. 4 kg
  • Fast assembly, easy handling and operation.

This FEREX generation covers five instrument versions:

The range extends from the simple FEREX LCD instrument with liquid-crystal display, through the classic pointer instrument FEREX API to the Datalogger versions FEREX DLG, FEREX DLG with GPS Navigator and FEREX DLG GPS Cartograph.

Thus, the FEREX 4.032 can be adapted individually to the customer's needs for performing the particular detection tasks. Together with the FEREX DATALINE 4.800 evaluation software, this allows detection, localization, identification and mapping on the Datalogger versions

FOERSTER MULTI CAT 4.850

Vehicle-based sensor platform for detection, localization, identification and mapping of ferromagnetic pollutant sources and UXO over large areas.

This uses the sensor techno- logy and the Datalogger technology of the FEREX. The light, 2-wheel trailer vehicle is made fully of non-ferromagnetic material with a track width of 2 or 4 m. It allows high detection speeds up to 2.5 m/s. Its compact transport size allows it to be transported in an estate car or station wagon.

FEREX-DATALINE 4.800

Powerful evaluation program for magnetic field distributions (geomagnetic data) which conveniently and quickly analyses, evaluates, displays and documents data recorded with a FEREX Datalogger on a PC.

Using FEREX-DATALINE, you can compute the coordinates, the position and the size of presumed ferromagnetic objects and their depth. You can create object lists and object maps, in addition to magnetic field maps with adjustable color scaling.
