    (54) Ballistic projectile-arrester having a regeneration and recovery system for the projectile braking material


    (57) A ballistic projectile arrester, suitable for fires with small arms as well as with arms of other kinds, particularly in indoors firing grounds or shooting-galleries, comprising a projectile impact structure consisting of a granular material in the form of a heap (5) and a regeneration and/or recovery system for said granular material, with the respective separation of the projectiles, charac­terized in that said regeneration and/or recovery system for said granular material comprises vibrating means (8;27) as well as conveyor means so as to cause said material to move and to be conveyed, and means (11; 12) for recovering the material; delivery mechanical means (13) which convey said granular material together with the fired projectiles toward separation means (15) in which said projec­tiles are collected; and feeding conduit means (20) for conveying the granular material back to the feeding chamber (18); and in that air pre-riltering means (19) are provided downstream said conveyor (44) for intercepting granules still suspended in the air stream, as well as first conduit means (20) making filtered air and powder fines to flow toward filtering means (21) for causing said powders to settle; second conduit means (23) departing from said filtering means (21), such second conduit means (23) conveying the air stream under the heap of granular material; and in that said vibrating means (8;27) and conveyor means are arranged according to the angle of slide of the material mass.
