VMF4

The Vallon VMF4 is a compact, high-precision metal detector engineered for humanitarian demining, military mine clearance, and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) operations where portability, performance, and reliability are paramount. Designed and manufactured in Germany, the VMF4 delivers exceptional detection sensitivity and ergonomics in a foldable, field-ready package. 

Overview

Part of Vallon’s 4th generation of metal detectors, the VMF4 is a smaller counterpart to the VMH4, offering a lightweight, compact solution without compromising on detection capability. Its modular coil system and advanced features make it ideal for demanding search tasks in varied soils and shallow water environments. 

Key Features

  • Compact and Foldable Design: Easily transportable with minimal packing dimensions while providing full ergonomic operation once deployed. 

  • Exchangeable Search Coils:
    – Standard coils: VS20 (Ø 20 cm) and VS25 (Ø 25 cm) for landmines and low-metal objects.
    – Optional UXO coils: VS30 (Ø 30 cm) and VS60 (Ø 60 cm) for unexploded ordnance and larger metal items. 

  • Highest Detection Sensitivity: Optimized for finding landmines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and low-conductivity metals, plus cable/wire detection. 

  • Integrated UXO Mode: Specialized settings help differentiate significant metal threats in battle area clearance scenarios. 

  • User-Friendly Controls: Button-operated pinpoint function and clear infrared LED display, compatible with night vision devices, improve accuracy even in low-light conditions. 

  • Wireless Web Interface: Accessible via Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi, the internal web server enables configuration, firmware updates, and GNSS waypoint management without cables. 

  • Robust Construction: Built to MIL-STD-810G standards for durability in field conditions. 

  • Long-Life Power Options: Rechargeable batteries can be charged directly in the detector using AC or vehicle power; the VMF4L variant offers extended battery life for prolonged missions. 

Applications

The VMF4 is ideal for:

  • Humanitarian Demining: Effective detection of anti-personnel and anti-vehicle mines, including low-metal content threats. 

  • Battle Area Clearance (BAC): UXO, shells, grenades, and larger remnants near the surface. 

  • IED Search and EOD Operations: Sensitive detection of metal components, wires, and triggering elements. 

Trusted Performance Worldwide

Manufactured with Vallon’s commitment to precision, durability, and user-focused design, the VMF4 stands as a reliable detection partner for professional clearance teams, armed forces, and humanitarian demining units around the world.
