Capacity customizable for end client use

System is fully automatic, controlled via PLC panel. Loading of TNT flakes into conveyor system and placing shells on to a transport system is done manually by hand.

Empty shells transporting system in supported with warm dry air heating chamber.
Transporting system (conveyor) is automatic and adjustable to shell size

2 Jacketed and steam heated tanks equipped with stirrers : Melting and tempering of TNT
Two tanks are connected with double walled (water heated) pipeline with a slope of 2% to ensure, no residues or cured TNT is left. (complete drainability).
After transferring TNT to tempering tank, mixing tank is ready for another batch to melt. (semi-continuous system).
Tanks are equipped with ventilation exhaust and Nitrogen inertisation system.
(complete safety for operators)

Filling of shells in done by automated system – time of filing is controlled by microprocessor, ensuring accurate filling volume is achieved in every batch

Filling system supports 6 shells filling at once!

Curing of filled TNT is done by automated hot stick dipping system
