Our R&D detonation chambers are a perfect fit to accommodate scientific investigations and daily R&D detonics experiments with energetic materials, from 80 g to 5 kg TNT eq.

These blast chambers allow scientists to test their pyrotechnical devices in an indoor environment. They also guarantee total safety for both operators and the surrounding infrastructure, in particular thanks to an inner shielding specifically designed to contain fragments.

Automated door actuation and practical equipment for preparing the charges make carrying out the daily operations in the chamber easier as well as safer.

These blast chambers can be equipped with optical ports for cameras or X-Ray imaging, and with gas-tight feedthrough connectors for the required instrumentation system (shock physics, blast effects, thermal flux, temperature, etc.).

These containment vessels are also completely customizable with automated gas filtering, purging, venting and automation systems according to your needs and for your convenience.

For example, a special version is now available for nanodiamond production. This chamber is specifically arranged to optimize the production rate and minimize the required manpower to use it. The first machines will be delivered by the end of 2021.

Various types of R&D detonation chambers

Universal chamber

 

– A chamber used occasionally, just when you need it
– Safety first, but everything is manually controlled (closing, tightening, venting, and evacuation)
– Easy cleaning and maintenance

Spherical chamber

 

– The strongest design (high-density charge in comparison with the volume)
– Ideal for heavy instrumented configurations
– Easy cleaning and maintenance

Automated chamber

 

– Reduced working time
– High firing rate
– User-friendly
– Easy loading
