Plant for incinerating explosive substances

Abstract

An installation is provided for the deflagration of explosives. The installation includes a splinter and explosive-proof tunnel housing having open ends and receiving a deflagration reactor positioned inside the tunnel housing and having an entry passageway and entry zone, a deflagration zone and an exit zone and exit passageway. A conveyor device extends from outside the reactor and into and through and out of the reactor and includes a plurality of carriers movable along the conveyor device for receiving and transporting explosives into and through the entry zone and into the reactor zone for ignition and burning of the explosives in the reactor zone. Each of the carriers includes a device for closing in substantially air-tight manner the entry passage and the exit passage as the carrier moves through the reactor. Devices cooperate with the device for closing the entry passageway and the exit passageway for allowing a controllable residual airflow through the reactor.
