Zeveta Ammunition a.s.

The decomposition of ammunition and subsequent ecological disposal of obtained material was associated primarily with monitoring of decomposition process safety. That was improved by designing and manufacturing of the company s own technological facilities and whole range of other technological aids emphasizing the safety during decomposition of ammunition and pyrotechnical items. Since the year 2004, ZEVETA AMMUNITION joint-stock company has been participating in a vast decomposition programme aimed at safe and ecological disposal of surplus and unmarketable military stock as ground and aircraft ammunition, mines, engineer and pyrotechnical material and other commodities. Realisation of this impressive project, which has been the first one in the history of Czech Army as to scale, enables to save on costs incurred by storage and guarding of ammunition at military facilities, reduction of its possible misuse, creation of numerous job opportunities at decomposition and disposal plants and the last but not the least to mention it the utilisation of obtained materials in industry and construction.

Fireworks - the company will design, deliver, prepare, install and carry out festive fireworks and pyrotechnical work. Smaller and medium-scale fireworks: • garden fireworks • fireworks for parties • salon effects • special effects • pyrotechnical images Professional fireworks – pyrotechnical work: Social and sports events, visualization of logos, symbols… • height and ground effects • ball and cylinder bombs • japanese sun, fire circle • waterfalls, Bengal lights • stack bombs • roman candles • gun shots • quick-matches • igniters

The ZEVETA AMMUNITION joint-stock company in Bojkovice has developed special testing laboratories to enable extensive testing of pyrotechnical products in accordance with valid EU legislation. The testing laboratories are utilised to test and re-test pyrotechnical products prior to their marketing. With respect to the unique nature of testing facilities, these are also used to test products with special characteristics. Testing facilities can be also used to test wide range of products under extreme climatic conditions, verification of durability of products and packaging under various transport conditions etc.

The aim of this course is to provide theoretical and practical lectures to applicants for achievement of professional qualification – Fireworks Operator – in accordance with the Act No. 61/1988 Coll. on mining activity, explosives and the National Mining Administration, passé by the Czech National Council, as subsequently amended. The course is arranged as a one-week residential course. The course comprises of lectures, consultations and self-studies. The integral part of the course is the practical training at blasting grounds within the company premises. The course shall be completed with the final exam in theory and practice supervised by the NATIONAL MINING AUTHORITY.

26,5 mm The signalling ammunition has been designed as pyrotechnical means to be used with signalling guns. The very signalling rounds have been designed to produce a lighting or sound effects. Every package of signalling ammunition contains 10 cartridges. 40 mm This ammunition is used for terrain illumination and possible signalling. When launching, the round shall be held in hand and leaned towards a suitable support in order to point the round muzzle into desired direction. Upon unscrewing the cap, release the rip cord with ring ending. Short draw on the rip cord leads to launch. The outlet part releases a flare, which ignites a parachute light flare at the distance of approx. 400 m from the muzzle.

The universal hand grenade has been designed to destroy enemy live force. The controlled decomposition of the grenade body enables to achieve improved shell effect. The universal hand grenade is fitted with a igniter featuring a lever to enable selection of time or impact initiation with mask safety and auto-destruction. The grenade has been designed to function within the temperature interval from -50 °C to +50 °C. All models of URG-86 are packed by twenty pieces in hermetically sealed metal boxes inserted into a wooden crate.

FRICTION IGNITERS TZ-M / TZ-M 3 Friction igniters are timed pyrotechnical initiators used to initiate of designated types of training simulation ammunition or specifically selected products. The product comprises of igniter body with an integrated friction ignition system, the very pyrotechnical deferred fire fuse with pinched Al cavity containing the blast support matter. Loosening of the cap from igniter body and sharp rapture of the wire friction member leads to initiation of the deferred fire fuse with set time delay followed by activation of the blast part. The product is waterproof and it can be used within the temperature range from -30 °C to 50 °C even under adverse weather conditions. Igniters are packed by 10pcs in nest bowls and fixed with shrink-wrap inside the transport packaging. ELECTRIC IGNITERS / EZČ / EZO Electric time igniters or the immediate electric igniters are used to activate the implemented simulation and training pyrotechnical ammunition. This product is based on advanced module of the TZ-M friction igniter, whereas the friction detonator is replaced with an electric detonating system. The timed version is manufactured at several steps: 2, 4, 6 and 8 seconds. Igniters are packed in nest bowls same as other TZ-M products. Further, these packages also contain leads for easy connection of the priming system to igniters. P-1 and P-2 WITH TZ-M3 FRICTION IGNITER Riot control smoke puff charges model P-1 and P-2 are used by armed forces for special Purposes.
