Abstract: A method for the continuous manufacture of explosive mixtures by mixing their components in screw mixers with at least one charging aperture. Proportioned amounts of the components of the mixture are brought into entry zones provided with screw elements and situated below the charging aperture. The mixture components are then advanced through alternation kneading zones and transport zones having screw elements to the output end. The transport and kneading zones are configured such that the shear gradient therein is between 20/sec and 1500/sec and the maximum pressure in the stream of the mass is not more than 100 bars.
