Hydraulically powered saws cut munitions into individual discs. This is used when the munitions total NEQ exceeds the limits for the thermal treatment system. The cutting is usually a preliminary step before further extraction of explosive fill for final destruction or reuse.
Defuse, deprime, and separate munitions parts all in one machine. These units are used to remove various fuses and fin assemblies from mortars and projectiles.
Other disassembly equipment includes:
Hydraulically powered saws cut munitions while completely submerged in a tank containing a colling media. This equipment is especially useful for sensitive explosives and produces far less waste than water jet cutting.
A hot water bath is used to extract TNT or TNT-based explosives from shell casings. A wide range of unfused and open munitions can be processed with minor preparation. Separation and sealing of the projectile cavities prevents contamination.
