ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method are provided for stirring an explosive materials mixture maintained in a molten state to ensure homogeneity of its composition and for simultaneous transfer of predetermined quantities thereof, by effecting the transfers primarily in a horizontal direction, via a plurality of positive displacement piston-cylinder mechanisms and a corresponding plurality of pneumatically controlled spool valves for injection into a plurality of munitions items through detachable intermediate distribution elements that also serve as temporary risers. An explosive material mixture, containing a molten component and particulate matter which would otherwise precipitate out, is thus delivered in a homogeneous form into each of a plurality of individual munitions items of similar shape and size in amounts controlled to ensure safe and adequate filling of the munitions items and the provision of only small surpluses of explosive material to accommodate shrinkage during cooling of the filled munitions items, and limiting the amount of riser scrap that must be collected and disposed subsequent to each such filling.
