Abstract: The description relates to a plant and process for incinerating explosives. In the process, the explosives are burned in a incineration reactor (1) in which the gaseous reaction products (flue gases) thus produced are mixed with fresh or make-up air (5), cooled by this mixing process and then discharged from the incineration reactor (1). In order to improve the thermo-energetic efficiency of the above process, the gas mixture (2) discharged from the incineration reactor is taken to the combustion chamber (3) of a fuel (4) burning plant (11). To this end, the plant for incinerating explosives of the invention comprises an incineration reactor (1) in which the explosives (13) are burned with the generation of flue gas which, as described above, is mixed with fresh or make-up air (5) and then discharged from the incineration reactor (1) via gas pipes.

Abstract: An installation is provided for the deflagration of explosives. The installation includes a splinter and explosive-proof tunnel housing having open ends and receiving a deflagration reactor positioned inside the tunnel housing and having an entry passageway and entry zone, a deflagration zone and an exit zone and exit passageway. A conveyor device extends from outside the reactor and into and through and out of the reactor and includes a plurality of carriers movable along the conveyor device for receiving and transporting explosives into and through the entry zone and into the reactor zone for ignition and burning of the explosives in the reactor zone. Each of the carriers includes a device for closing in substantially air-tight manner the entry passage and the exit passage as the carrier moves through the reactor. Devices cooperate with the device for closing the entry passageway and the exit passageway for allowing a controllable residual airflow through the reactor.

Abstract: A carrier is provided as a part of a conveyor in an installation for burning away or deflagration of explosives. The carrier includes a base plate and a vat of scale and temperature-proof or resistant material mounted on the base plate for containing the explosives. The installation for the deflagration includes a deflagration reactor through which the carriers passes one after another in assembly-line operation through an entry zone and an exit zone. The invention is characterized in that the vat is mounted in spaced relation from the base plate by pillar-like supports which are distributed symmetrically on the area of the vat bottom; and in that a vertically upright bulkhead wall is arranged at least at one face of the base plate. The width and height dimensions of the bulkhead wall are such that they close the entry zone and the exit in substantially air tight manner toward the outside.
