Systems for handling explosive and energetic materials are designed with one paramount objective: safety. We engineer turnkey solutions that remove the operator from the hazardous area. By integrating custom robotics, specialized conveyors, and remote control systems within blast-resistant enclosures, we automate the handling of sensitive materials, ensuring maximum protection for personnel and facilities.

The handling of energetic materials demands a level of precision and safety that is beyond the scope of standard industrial automation. Our expertise lies in the meticulous engineering of these high-consequence systems. Every aspect, from the selection of non-sparking materials and anti-static surfaces to the design of gentle, low-friction transport mechanisms, is geared towards preventing ignition. The entire process is housed within a certified, blast-mitigating enclosure and operated from a secure, remote control room, providing complete separation between operator and process.

More Information

  • FAQ -
    • Q1: What is the primary safety principle of your system design?
    • A1: The fundamental principle is the complete physical separation of personnel from the hazardous process. Every system is engineered for fully automated or remote operation from a hardened, blast-resistant control room, ensuring operators are never exposed to risk.
    • Q2: How do you prevent ignition from static electricity, friction, or impact?
    • A2: We employ a multi-layered defense: 1) The entire system is meticulously bonded and grounded to dissipate static. 2) All components in contact with the material are made from certified non-sparking materials. 3) All movements are designed to be slow, deliberate, and controlled by servo motors to prevent impact and minimize friction. 4) Environmental controls (e.g., humidity) are often integrated.
    • Q3: What happens in the worst-case scenario of an accidental detonation?
    • A3: The system is engineered for "defense-in-depth." The entire process is contained within a blast and fragmentation-proof enclosure designed to withstand the calculated explosive event. This is often coupled with high-speed detection and suppression systems that can mitigate an event and prevent propagation to other areas.
    • Q4: How are these systems tested and validated?
    • A4: Validation is a rigorous, multi-stage process conducted with the client and relevant regulatory bodies. It includes a comprehensive Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) during design, a full Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) with surrogate (inert) materials, and a carefully staged Site Acceptance Test (SAT) with live materials, following strict safety protocols.
    • Q5: How is project security and confidentiality maintained?
    • A5: We operate under the highest levels of security clearance and confidentiality, in full compliance with all regulations set by the Israeli Ministry of Defense and other government bodies. All project data is isolated, communication is encrypted, and personnel operate on a strict need-to-know basis.
