Line can be used for munitions cal. 20 mm to 203 mm and mortar rounds cal. 160 mm up to 240 mm.
Medium & large caliber munitions disassembling line consists of independent technological units in various configurations, selected accordingly to kind, caliber and type of ammunition as well relevant to the needs of Enduser.
The Line can consist of the following units:
- 20 -37 mm munitions dismantling or breaking unit
- in configuration depending on required capacity and the Customer’s requirements;
- propellant charges other components obtained during disassembly process are moved to subsequent operations, recycling or incineration.
- Disassembling unit for munitions cal. 40 -203 mm and mortar rounds cal. 160 -240 mm
- intended for disassembly of artillery, tank, anti -aircraft and mortar ammunition,
- operations generating risk of detonation such as screwing out initiators are always carried out remotely, by automatic process, in armored chambers by application of blast walls or ceilings,
- after disassembly the ammunition is pulled apart, while propellant charges and explosive materials are forwarded to the further processing or disposal.
- Shell cutting unit-band saws & Water jet
Both technologies ensure complete safety. Band saws unit containers are equipped with lighting system, air-conditioning, electricity and water connections, drains, and a CCTV system. Separate control rooms allow remote control and supervision of the cutting processes.
Band saws cutting unit is dedicated to i.a. cutting of the shells of HE rounds for the purpose of their transfer to the further disposal processes. Band saws consist of working tables with hydraulic clamps and removable inserts for cutting various ammunition round types. Projectiles are cooled down during processing with a double cooling system. The metal fillings and explosive dust generated during the process are separated from the cooling agent and collected in a bin, while the clean cool agent is recycled to the process.
Water jet cutting unit is dedicated to i.a. cutting of HEAT rounds.
- Shredded unit for crushing and grinding of cases and other metal components
Metal scrap obtained during disposal process is directed to the shredder unit where the scrap is grinded to a form unusable for recovery and military application. Grinding process significantly decreases the scrap metal volume, which reduces the costs of shipping for remelting and the required storage capacity.
- Driving ring removal unit
The unit is intended for safe removal of driving rings from complete or split (cut) projectiles / shells which have been emptied of explosive materials.
- Explosives removal units
- Steam melting unit for removal of explosives
Cut projectiles bodies from band saws unit are directed to steam melting unit for removal of TNT. The unit consists of autoclaves, slots for different calibers of projectiles and dedicated carts, which are moved under the steam melting chambers.
- Explosives hydro washout unit
Explosives hydro washout unit consists of:
- processing vat with a shell mounting unit;
- head drive system with nozzles for washing out of the explosive;
- high-pressure water booster;
- explosives recovery and process water treatment systems;
- control & monitoring system.
- Special ammunition, mines and aerial bombs disassembling lines
Each of the customers possesses different types of the combat means. JAKUSZ design technological lines, units or stands dedicated for each group of munitions, with all necessary modifications based on individual analysis of each case. Exemplary installations to disassembly of special ammunition are following:
- White phosphorus extraction unit
White phosphorus belongs to particularly toxic materials and can be found in smoke and lighting ammunition. It burns continuously in contact with air, therefore it is especially important to observe safety procedures and rules at the installation. The dismantling process begins with the melting of white phosphorus underwater, and then pouring the substance into containers for safe storage and transport, aimed to their further use by chemical plants.
- Unit for disassembling od 122 mm rocket missiles of „GRAD”
The unit is equipped with anti-electrostatic installation protecting from accumulation of electrostatic charges and arising differences of potentials between devices and clothing of workers . It is also equipped with safety system that clears away high temperature gases released during ignition of rocket engine.
- Anti tank mines disassembling unit
The unit is dedicated for crushing and removal of explosive material from various anti-tank mines.
- Air bombs disassembling lines
The unit is intended for disassembling of FAB air bombs. For safety reasons the line is built from 3 different stations as well as from stirring and controlling container surrounded by protective shields.
