  • Patent number: 9139486
    Abstract: Method for decommissioning a body containing explosive material includes opening the body containing explosive material in a secured and/or currentless state, and cutting individual bodies along a cutting plane into at least two parts in a liquid by one or more cutting processes to expose the main charge carriers intact in the respective individual bodies for removal without destruction. Method further includes removing main charge carrier essentially intact while still in the liquid from the individual bodies, and transferring the main charge carrier to a container, structured and arranged to store each individual main charge carrier free from contact with other main charge carriers, and which includes a material that is absorbent for liquids. Method further includes feeding the container with the main charge carriers to an incineration process and grinding all of the other parts of the individual bodies in a grinding process to produce ground material.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7637194
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field explosives technology and concerns a method and a device in which the explosive materials are removed from their casings. The object of the solution according to the invention is to disclose a method and a device with which explosives-containing bodies with non-uniform dimensions and also with internal attachments can be safely opened and dismantled. The object is attained through a method in which a strip of casing material is removed up to a residual wall thickness by means of machining tools, subsequently pressure is applied on the casing by means of a pressing tool and then the explosive material is removed from the casing by means of melting or by means of pressing. The object is further attained through a device comprising a device for removing a chip and a device for applying pressure on the explosives-containing bodies and devices for transporting the explosives-containing body.
