- Choice of patented Tiller or flail operations depending on requirements.
- Effective clearance of AP- and AT-mines up to 10 kg TNT.
- Average clearance performance 15,000 m² - 25,000 m² per day.
- Continuous ground penetration up to a depth of 35 cm and efficient removal of vegetation.
- Tiller application excels in terms of reliability and survivability.
- Manned or remote-controlled operation.
- Operator assistance through automatic depth control and optional GPS.
- Engine and cooling modules withstanding extreme conditions of heat and dust.

Patented Open Tiller Design
The root of the MineWolf´s success is its patented tiller technology. The open basket design allows a mine blast to dissipate through the tiller, avoiding or minimising damage. Its modular design also allows easy replacement of chisels.
Direct Drive
An additional advantage is the use of direct-drive system instead of hydraulics. This allows the majority of the 367 Deutz diesel engine's power to directly drive the tiller at 300 to 600 rpm.
Defined by rotation speed, ground speed and clearance depth, the MineWolf tiller operation guarantees an effective and reliable clearing process which is unobtainable using common flail systems. A tight predefined penetration pattern makes sure even the smallest AP mines are hit to a depth of over 30cm.
Toolbox concept
Depending on threat and terrain condition, a tiller or flail attachment may be quickly interchanged.
Remote Control
In case of unknown mine threat, all necessary functions of the MineWolf can be remotely controlled to reduce operating risks: speed, direction, handling of tiller/flail head, depth control, and rotor speed.

3rd Party Survivability Studies of the MineWolf:
German Federal Armed Forces, Technical Center for Weapons and Ammunition (Report WTD 91) "In summary it can be stated that the operator sitting in the driver's cab of the MineWolf is not subjected to an intolerable risk of injury by the explosion of a DM 21 or TM 57 antitank mine if the mine detonates in the area of the mine-clearing device.
The risk of injury is very low and far below the applicable limits for mine-protected vehicles of the Bundeswehr..."Contact MineWolf Systems for a copy.
RUAG Land Systems "Mine Protection Tests on the MineWolf"
"Blast tests on the MineWolf using 2 kg and 5 kg of TNT charges proved a satisfying overall structural blast tolerance of this system.
The rotary hoe (Tiller) and its suspension design are robust and the driver's cab does not suffer any damage nor is subject to excessive accelerations...Increased charge mass naturally induced local deformations.
However the modular design allows quick replacement of damaged parts, requiring only short interruptions of the mine clearing operations." Contact MineWolf Systems for a copy.
