Rocket Propellant Mill

EVEN SPEED ROLL MILL MACHINE

This milling machine is designed to reduce the moisture content of the nitrocellulose-based propellant paste from 25-35% to 8-12% via a compressing process. The two even-speed compressing mills turn propellant paste into a propellant sheet. The temperature of the mills remains 70-90 C° while gelatinizing the propellant paste into a sheet with a 0-1% moisture content.
