General Disassembly Equipment PDF Print
Demilitarization of the unserviceable ammunition and disposal of explosives and propellants require at first the disassembly of the ammunition in its component parts. After removal of the explosive, the recovered metal parts can be used as valuable metal scrap. The explosives can either be also recovered (e.g. TNT, refer to Equipment for Recovery of Explosives) or must be destroyed (refer to Incineration Plants).

For the disassembly of conventional ammunition, for ammunition for chemical warfare agents, and for pyrotechnic mixtures, Meissner delivers single machines and also complete plants, which are tailor-made for the special requirements of the customers and the ammunition to be disassembled.

The program for disassembly includes - among others - the equipment for cutting by high-pressure water jet, unscrewing machines for fuzes, equipment for extraction of shells from cartridge cases and for pressing-out of fuzes. All machines can be operated under safety and monitored by remote control.
