First and second spaced parallel generally cylindrical rolls are provided. Each roll is journaled at opposite end portions thereof to the supports. Each roll has an uninterrupted peripheral surface portion for engagement with the plastic explosive material. A crank is operably associated with one of the rolls at a first end thereof for rotating the roll. Gears meshingly interconnect the rolls at a second end thereof so that rotation of the one roll causes associated rotation of the other roll. Plastics explosive material is caused to be drawn between the rolls by their rotation so as to be homogenized. | |
