New NABCO Ammunition Destruction System Targets Growing Problem for Law Enforcement

There is a growing problem in many police departments across the world. And it's not crime. It's tons of ammunition, pyrotechnics, and other confiscated items stored in expensive warehouses — material that police departments can neither burn nor destroy without running afoul of stringent environmental regulations.

"We've talked to police departments that are literally warehousing several tons of confiscated ammo,� explains Randy Markey, Chief Operating Officer of NABCO, "and paying tens of thousands of dollars in storage and security costs to do so.� Now NABCO has introduced a new system that will help law enforcement solve this growing problem once and for all: the new NABCO Ammunition Destruction System (ADS).

Building on its long experience as the leader in explosive containment, NABCO has designed the ADS to feature many leading-edge capabilities. Its unique radiant burn design eliminates direct burning of ammunition, while offering larger payloads and quicker burn rates than competitive units. Its built-in filtering system meets or exceeds current EPA regulations. The system is capable of fully containing a 0.68 kg TNT detonation inside the chamber for added operator safety. And 90% of the material being disposed of can be recycled through the ADS's lead capture system.

"This new product is evidence of NABCO's commitment to helping law enforcement solve any problem related to the containment and disposal of explosives,� notes Jay Markey, President of NABCO.
