Universal Gun Barrel Cleaning System (UGBCS)
A gun barrel after having fired the ammunition needs maintenance and thorough cleaning. Firing of ammunition from a gun barrel leads to a lot of undesirable residues of carbon, copper etc inside the barrel. It is mandatory that these residual deposits are removed frequently to ensure that the expected performance of the gun barrel does not deteriorate or change and in extreme cases accidents are prevented from occurring. Most armies in the world resort to manual cleaning of the gun barrels.
Cleaning of Gun Barrels manually is a very tedious and a manpower intensive process. On an average, it takes six men working for minimum ten hours to clean one gun barrel is, 60 man hours.
The Universal Gun Barrel Cleaning System (UGBS) from MKU is a versatile, rugged and extremely capable device for cleaning of all kinds of gun barrels including chambers of artillery and tank guns of different calibers ranging from 100mm to 203mm. it can operate in all kinds of terrain and can function efficiently in extremes of climatic conditions from 20oC to plus 55oC.
While UGBCS has been designed to clean gun barrels and chamber, it can also carry out drying and oiling sequence by a simple and quick attachment thereby obviating for any additional mechanical / electrical power.
