METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DISCARDING AMMUNITION COMPRISING MIXED CHARGES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for discarding ammunition which comprises removing the explosive substances from the casing using a melt-flow technique. This method of the present invention comprises supplying an inert, liquid and pressurised heat-carrier onto the surface of the explosive substances. The mixture formed is submitted to a lamination process, further precipitated and continuously weighed. The explosive substance removal is interrupted when a predetermined loading weight is reached. A predetermined dose of melted trotyle is then added and the heat-carrier is supplied from a separator until a predetermined level is reached. The mixture remaining in the separator is then kneaded until a homogeneous state is achieved. This invention also relates to a device for realising this method, wherein said device comprises the following members: a hopper (1); an inlet funnel (2); a supply device (3) for the liquid heat-carrier (4); a separator (5) mounted on scales (9); a bottom connection (20); a flow stabiliser (14); a discharge duct (6) comprising a supply pipe (15) for the dose of melted trotyle; a mixing device (17); a collector (7) for the melted explosive composition (8); connections (18, 19); and a mobile hollow bar (10) with a nozzle (11).
