The 20mm Neutrex was the original Disrupter that led to Proparms becoming a world leader in disrupter technology. It is still considered by many to be the best "all purpose Disrupter" available on the market. It is highly versatile and can be used in a variety of situations, including underwater. The 20mm Neutrex may be used in either manual or robot deployment. With current requirements of 12 volts per 1 amp, it is compatible with robot power supplies. No tools are required for setup and preparation. The Unit is made of a hollow construction to reduce blast barriers. The Stand has a unique cable-locking cam to secure the firing line. Setup and deployment is approximately 2 ½ minutes.
