    Base Bleed Grains

    Base bleed components use a burning propellant grain to increase pressure at the base of artillery shells during flight. This reduces drag on the shell and enhances the projectile range by up to 30% without reducing accuracy. EURENCO produces base bleed grains that use an exclusive pressing technology and thermoplastic design to provide complex shapes, high production rates, dimensional control, and mechanical properties that withstand aging. The base bleed effect from combusting the propellant grain inside the shell extends the maximum range of the ammunition.

    Projectile Range Enhancer


    By reducing the drag of the shell during the ballistic trajectory, base bleed components answer to
    modern artillery system requirements for extended range ammunition. At the leading edge in this field,
    EURENCOs base bleed units use an exclusive pressing technology and are adaptable to all types of
    shells and calibres.

    The Base Bleed effect consists in increasing the pressure at the base
    of the shell during flight, through the combustion of a propellant grain,
    therefore reducing drag. It results in:

    BASE BLEED GRAINS


    Projectile Range Enhancer

    Product Description
    Associated to a suitable igniter, Base Bleed grains can be
    fitted on various artillery shells, such as 155mm, 105mm,
    122mm, 130mm...

    Product Characteristics
    Excellent mechanical properties even after aging with
    propellant strain greater than 40%,
    Low sensitivity to relative humidity,
    Easy adjustment of burning rate with catalyst,
    Strong cohesive bonding between insulator and
    propellant, warranting excellent reproducibility of
    the mass flow rate, and a perfect behavior during
    aging,
    Lower glass transition point.

    The thermoplastic technology developed by


    EURENCO provides outstanding advantages,
    such as:
    Complex shape design,
    High production rates and reliable
    manufacturing,
    Dimensional control from tooling,
    No bubble or crack,
    No cure cycle,
    No sedimentation.
