Abstract
Abstract A method of continuously processing meal black powder in order to make it suitable for use in fuses, wherein a conventionally produced meal black powder is blended with about 20 % of water; said moist black powder is compressed to a coherent body in the form of sheets; said sheets are rubbed through a sieve; said sieved powder is agglomerated into spherical grains; said grains are dried to a moisture content of about 1 % and are sieved in order to provide a fraction having a grain size in the range of 0.3 and 1.0 mm.
