Single Base Propellant Production Lines

Single Base Propellant Production Lines

Controlled gelatinization, plasticization and grain formation processes for nitrocellulose-based single base propellant production.

Single base propellant production involves controlled gelatinization, plasticization and grain formation of nitrocellulose-based materials. Grain geometry, moisture balance and internal structure must be maintained within strict tolerances.

Bakar Makina delivers single base propellant production lines engineered for military-grade safety and integrated process control. The objective is to provide stable and high-performance propellant suitable for small and medium caliber ammunition.
