Ammunition

With the experience of more than one hundred machines supplied and installed into the ammunition industry, the experts at Walther Trowal know the processes involved in the production of ammunition and optimally integrate surface treatment into the forming process.

Cartridge cases

The production of cartridge cases is a highly interlinked process: After each forming stage, the surface of the cases produced step by step must be treated differently to ensure the safe functioning of the ammunition. This includes, for example:

• pickling
• washing
• drying
• passivation

Our CM circular vibrators have proven themselves for all these processes. They are used by manufacturers of weapons and ammunition who supply military and public services, for example police or customs, as well as hunters and sport shooters. Walther Trowal is one of the few manufacturers to offer a complete surface treatment solution from blank to the finished cartridge case from a single source: Machines, process media and process water technology are perfectly coordinated - guaranteeing efficient processes and high quality of the finished ammunition.

Projectiles

Rounding
CM circular vibrators or TFM trough vibrators also process the surface of the projectiles, which are usually made of lead: they deburr and round the edges.

Coating
Some projectiles for special applications are additionally coated with bonding coating so that they can be reliably pressed into the case. Walther Trowal also supplies the right machine for this task: the Rotamat Coating machine.
