We engineer and support a wide range of energetics processing operations, including:

Mixing and Blending – Design of batch and continuous systems for powders, pastes, slurries, and composite materials

Granulation and Drying – Systems for controlled particle sizing and moisture reduction

Filtration and Slurry Handling – Safe transfer, containment, and separation of sensitive liquids and semi-solids

Net-Shape Pressing and Extrusion – Equipment for forming energetic materials into precise shapes and configurations

Cast-Cure Filling – Design of filling and curing systems for castable explosives and propellants

High-Speed and Abrasive Cutting – Integration of mechanical, abrasive jet, and water-based systems for safe material separation

Gravimetric and Volumetric Filling – Accurate metering of solids, gels, and liquids into cartridges, housings, or containment devices

Pick-and-Place Automation – Robotic and mechanical handling of sensitive components in controlled environments

Washout and Cleaning Systems – High-pressure water or chemical washout systems for tooling and process equipment

Thermal Treatment and Waste Processing – Incineration and solvent recovery systems designed for energetic or toxic residues

We incorporate best practices in Process Safety Management (PSM), explosion prevention, and material compatibility throughout system design. Our engineers work closely with clients to assess hazards and develop systems that address:

• Containment and isolation
• Venting and emergency relief
• Interlocks and control logic
• Remote operation and maintenance access
• Waste handling, neutralization, and recovery

Franklin Engineering Group supports government and commercial clients involved in:

• Energetics and explosives manufacturing
• Demilitarization and render-safe operations
• Propellant production and processing
• Specialty chemical and hazardous material handling
• Defense and aerospace munitions programs
