The MACS Mobile Ammunition Combustion System renders live and expired ammunition into harmless and recyclable components using a technologically advanced and proven design that is safe for bomb techs, law enforcement officers and the environment. In use since 2001, MACS was designed in a joint venture between the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and TWB Designs and is in use by the RCMP, various police forces and munitions plants.

How it Works

The MACS is securely constructed with a 9.5 mm plate steel armoured shell containing a primary burner, where the ammunition is loaded into two trays and detonated. A secondary afterburner, located above the primary burner, destroys harmful gaseous compounds before emitting exhaust. The burners are fueled by on-board propane tanks resulting in temperatures reaching 482C in the primary chamber, and 982C in the secondary chamber, while the brass shells remain with the loading trays. The indirect firing technology results in low emissions, creating and environmentally friendly and safe unit. It efficiently disposes of up to 45.5 kg of ammunition in an hour or less. An electronic control panel monitors temperature, burners and cooling fan operation. p
