Rybro International Ltd

Rybro International Ltd , a wholly owned subsidiary, owns the International Property Rights of the Mine Guzzler which was developed by Bofors Defence.


The Mine Guzzler was fully tested in Sweden, Croatia, Egypt and Germany. (Test protocols from ITEP in Germany are shown on the link below) The Mine Guzzler has been specifically designed to focus on large area demining for humanitarian purposes. It has the ability to clear both Anti Tank and Anti Personnel mines, enabling the area cleared to be reused without risk.

The demining tool, which weighs 15 tons, is powered by a prop shaft to reduce the risk of overheating and uses a depth sensor. The tool has the capability of clearing to a depth of 50 cm when moving and up to 70 cm when standing still.

The Mine Guzzler is developed for clearing both larger AT  aswell as smaller AP mines without preparation in advance. The clearance is made through crushing of mines or detonation where the most are cleared by crushing where only the detonator is exploding.


The humanitarian demining focuses on clearing all areas and not just providing safe passage. Humanitarian demining focuses on large area clearance in order to allow safe use of the land.



The threat of mines remains in many countries. There are large minefields in southern Turkey along the Syrian border. The ongoing war in Ukraine will leave many areas requiring such specialist demining procedures. These are examples of where Rybro International Ltd can have a significant impact on restoring the local environment. Such activities are supervised by the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD).

There is clearly a need for a large area demining capability, to which the Mine Guzzler is ideally suited. Following Sweden's application to become a member of NATO, exports to previously closed markets such as Turkey could be possible.


The Mine Guzzler provides the capability to significantly reduce the time, cost and effectiveness of demining when compared to labour intensive manual or small area mechanical clearance.
