(517a) Truly Flexible Manufacturing Technologies for the Processing of Energetic Formulations

Conventional batch and continuous processing methods for energetics generally suffer from their lack of flexibility. Here a new truly-flexible continuous processing method is to be discussed. This single manufacturing platform allows differing degrees of mixing, pressurization, and conveying capabilities that can be tailored specifically for a given formulation upon selection from a library of drives, mixing/pressurization hardware, and with the configuration finalized using mathematical modeling.
