The design‐features of the first continuous single‐base propellant powder plant in the Western Hemisphere are summarized in this report. The highlights : less investment is required to install this simplified manufacturing process. Unmanned automated operations assure improved product quality, lower operating cost, and better safety conditions. As a result of an advanced design the plant is simple, easy to operate, very versatile, and flexible to accommodate changes.
