D&M Pistol and Rifle Brass Case Manufacturing Lines
D&M develops complete turn-key case manufacturing cells, complete with the required pistol or rifle case manufacturing equipment, based on your specific requirements, whether for civilian or military use. Using either the cup production or wire extrusion methods.
We can also provide your factory with additional case manufacturing machines as needed.
A complete projectile line or cell includes but is not limited to:
Case Press
This transfer press draws the case tubes from either annealed cups or annealed wire.
Wash Unit
The formed case tubes go through a multi-stage wash and rinse system, that can include polishing. Wash Units are placed in this position, after the head stamp and primer pockets are created, and after neck/taper forming in rifle calibers.
Header Press (for rifle cartridge cases)
The head stamp and primer pocket are created in a single process.
Transfer Press (for pistol cartridge cases)
The head stamp and primer pocket are created in a single process.
Head Turn & Trim Machine
Cases are trimmed and extractor grooves are turned during this stage.
Flash Hole Piercing (for rifle cartridge cases)
Body Annealing (for rifle cartridge cases)
After any chips are removed from the cases, they are annealed to prepare for next operation.
Taper Press (for rifle cartridge cases)
The taper or neck is pressed into the case.
Pit Furnace
Cases are hardened at 1250 degrees F in an oxygen-free, nitrogen atmosphere for purity.
Laser Inspection and Sorting Machine
High-speed inspection uses proprietary design to detect any surface defects.
