摘要:
An initiating device including at least one detonator, at least one booster charge and an action charge. The at least one booster charge is arranged such that, at the action charge initiates, the booster charge is free from disturbing edge effects that can have a disturbing effect on the action charge. A booster casing in which the booster charge is disposed is configured with a rear cylindrical part having a diameter D1, a front conical part delimited by a first circular limit face having the diameter D1, and a second circular limit face having a diameter D2, wherein the two limit faces are plane-parallel at a distance H1 from each other, wherein H1/D2 lies within a range 0.5-1.5. Also, a production method for producing the booster charge.

Disclosed are an apparatus and method for loading small and medium caliber cartridges with pressable plastic bonded explosives (PBXs). A plurality of pellets are pre-formed to have a high density, and are loaded into a small and medium caliber cartridge one by one. Accordingly, a high and uniform density is obtained. And, when manufacturing small and medium caliber cartridges, the pressable PBXs are anticipated to be massively loaded into the small and medium caliber cartridges in the future.
