Model No: 18860

This machine is designed to destroy the volatility of powder charges and primers associated with live ammunition which becomes inadvertently commingled with a supply of small arms spent shell casings.

This proprietary system efficiently transforms the live ammunition back into its individual solid metallic components thus decontaminating material to a 5x level thereby rendering the brass inert and releasable to the general public.

The Safety Certification Unit is regulated under 40 CFR as a flashing furnace.

The Safety Certification Unit for Small Arms Brass consists of an in-feed conveyor with a hopper, propane burner, heating chamber, discharge conveyor and propane generator.

Expended brass casings are loaded into the hopper on the in-feed conveyor and carried to the heating chamber where they travel toward the discharge end while being processed.

The brass passes through the heating chamber before being released onto the out-feed conveyor which carries it upward and discharges at a 5’ dump height.
