MILLINGTON, NJ, November 26, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- After trying a number of methods that didn't work, the Army used two AutoDrill 2100 series machines to successfully demilitarize over 40,000 rounds of obsolescent tank shells from the Vietnam era. Many of the shells were live and many of them had extremely hot tracer material fire during the drilling process.
The drills were used to remove pyrotechnic tracer material from the base of the projectile. The resulting inert material comprised several hundred tons of aluminum and steel which were then recycled. The US Army and AutoDrill are happy to say that this is the beginning of a very large reclamation and recycling program. Hopefully, other branches of the military and private sector companies will take advantage of this opportunity to remove dangerous materials from the environment.
AutoDrill offers free application and design assistance for its customers and free CAD drawings are available for all their equipment. They welcome inquiries for stories from the press and would be glad to provide additional information, etc.
Many of the manufacturers in the production drilling sector are shrinking or even going out of business. AutoDrill has experienced record-breaking growth for the past ten years and expects that they will continue to grow in the future.
