GfiANULAR EFXPLDSI VE, ESPECIALLY SUITABLE FOR THE EREPARATION OF'PB-ESSEIQ a EIEGES, AND METHOD OF- MAKJNG 'EE E sihrldiEq To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Orro Rnrrrnn, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residingat Schlebusch-lvlanfort, Germany, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Granular Explosives, Especially Suitable for the Preparation of Fressed Pieces, and Methods of" Making'the Same, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to produce :1 nitro compound explosive that 1s especialiy suitable for the preparation of pressed pieces. i
My process consists in taking a fused aromatic nitro compound explosive, forming. the same in layers and chilling the same, thereby reducing the explosive to a granular or flaky condition, and, in mixturewith a crystalline explosive, pressing the same. I
.material notwithstanding'its lugh density.
F or this purpose I can use a chilled rotating roller which dips into the fused explosive, for instance,'- trinitrotoluene. While the roller continues to'rotate, the thin layer carried along thereby is chilled and. after the roller has revolved, on its axis, a certan distance, the layer is removed by means of a The layers may then be pressed together. Instead of this the molten explosive may run in a stream upon the roller and after chilling be removed by a scraper.
The drawing is a side elevation of an apparatus by means of which the fused, nitro compound may be reduced to said granular or flaky condition, in accordance with my process.
In a jacketed receptacle a, heated, for example, by steam, the trinitrotoluene is fused. By means of a cock 6, the same is passed in regulated quantities through the trough c to the container cl. -The rotating roll e, which may be cooled from the inside by any suitable means, as for instance, water, dips into the fused trinitrotoluene in the container (1. There is thus formed on the surface of the roller a thin layer of trinitrotoluene which is rapidly chilled. When the. samereaches the scraper f, the trinitrotoluene peels oil. in the shape of fine flakes, and drops, by way of a conveyer 9, into the receptacle pressed body,

The fine flakes entering the receptacle are or very solid consistency, are free from air, completely dry and possess the high density of a fused explosive.
