CAST CHARGES

OUR PRODUCTS

AES has two purpose built production buildings dedicated to the melt pour of high explosive devices for the defense, mining and vehicle testing industries. AES processes pure TNT and a variety of TNT based formulations:

  • Composition B

  • Composition H-6 & HBX Formulations

  • Octol

  • Pentolite

  • Tritonal

Because the explosive is processed in molten form, casting is ideal for devices with complex geometries such as warheads and grenades. Compositions can be poured into metal, fiberboard or polymer housings. If you have a specialized device, our experienced team will work with you to develop a solution that meets all your requirements.

AVALANCHE 

CONTROL

AES produces a family of cast charges used in avalanche control operations. Depending on your specific needs, we produce charges that can be hand placed, thrown, launched from gas guns or loaded into stationary systems. We also supply pull wire igniters and other accessories for avalanche control.

Recently AES launched the Atwater 5 KG Charge specifically designed for use in Wyssen Avalanche Towers. Charges are available in Pentolite or Comp B formulations cast into a shell that fits securely within the existing Wyssen Charge Containers, providing the users a single piece drop in replacement charge.
