AMMUNITION FILLING PLANT METHOD OF POURING

Ammunition filling by casting method is the most common way of filling ammunition. This method is suitable almost for all ammo shapes and types. The basic explosive used for casting is TNT alone or in a composition with non-meltable explosives and additives. A large amount of ammunition can be filled by the casting method in a relatively short time. Subsequent operations – solidification of explosive charges, disassembly of funnels, milling and cleaning of cavities, are however demanding on energy, time and personnel.

  • Manual or semiautomatic mode


 
By pouring method in a relatively short time it is possible to fill a large amount of ammunition. Subsequent operations - solidification of explosive charges, disassembly of funnels, milling and cleaning of cavities, however, are energy, time and personnel demanding. Quality checkup of the explosive charges has to be executed by non-destructive method using X-ray equipment (not a part of delivery).
