Continuous process for producing explosive compositions

A process of producing an explosive composition, the process comprising:

• feeding an energetic material and a first binder component into a first mixer, wherein the first mixer comprises an enclosed, temperature controlled first mixing chamber, at least one rotor shaft along the interior longitudinal axis of the first mixing chamber, and wherein the rotor shaft comprises at least one mixing element fixed to the rotor shaft and wherein a continuous, partially filled volume is maintained throughout the first mixing chamber;
• mixing the solid energetic material and the first binder component in the first mixer;
• feeding the product from the first mixing chamber and a second binder component into a second mixer, wherein the second mixer comprises an enclosed, temperature controlled second mixing chamber, at least one rotor shaft along the interior longitudinal axis of the second mixing chamber and wherein the rotor shaft comprises at least one mixing element fixed to the rotor shaft and wherein a continuous, partially filled volume is maintained throughout the second mixing chamber;
• mixing the product from the first mixing chamber and the second binder component in the second mixer;
• and
• extracting the explosive composition from the second mixing chamber.
