Large Scale Portable Water Packing for Disaster Relief & Military Use
General's large-scale water packaging machines were selected by the US & Canadian Armies because of their simple and rugged construction and their long- term reliability.
Since 1994 General machines have been deployed throughout the world in disaster relief and military operations. The eight systems operated by the Canadian Army have been used in Rwanda, Turkey, Honduras, Haiti, East Timor, Afghanistan and domestically in Canada. The three US Army machines have been operated in Bosnia, Poland, Egypt, Iraq and domestically.
