AMT Det Canister
The AMT Det Canister completely contains blast pressure waves and fragmentation, thus protecting personnel.
Designed for use in AMT (Advanced Manual Techniques) and manual render safe applications the small and lightweight Det Canister enables personnel to carry a single electric or non-electric detonator with complete safety. Due to SABREMATTM technology, the AMT Det Canister protects personnel against fragmentation, blast effects and detonation transmission, whilst on operations. The AMT Det canister is best carried in waist belt webbing bandolier (4 units), and to clarify, these can be supplied upon request.
- Most importantly they enable detonators to be safely carried in theatre
- Light weight and in addition, simple to use
- Multiple AMT Mini’s can be carried in belt webbing bandoliers
- Furthermore, these can be used with electric or non-electric detonators.
- Robust hard-wearing units which most importantly have, non-conductive coating.

AMT Mini Det Canister
This canister was tested with a No.8 electric detonator initiated inside the chamber with no fragmentation or external blast effect being produced. In addition, to simulate de-mining activity, the unit has also been tested with a No.8 electric detonator together with 0.5 grams of C4 adhered to it. In conclusion, no fragmentation or external blast effects resulted.
