Abstract

The continuous processing of energetic materials requires extrusion machinery equipped with various types of safety features, thus are differentiated from machinery available to civilian industries. In this paper two novel extrusion platforms, first one involving a flexible manufacturing platform and the second designed to process nanoenergetics are described, to illustrate the procedures necessary to design extrusion platforms for energetics manufacture. Particular emphasis is given to the safety features of the new machinery, along with a detailed discussion of their flexibility and ease of use. The use of material-specific mathematical modeling in the design of the extrusion platforms is also elucidated as a first line of defense for safety and ease of use.
