Barrels of storm howitzers are entrusted to domestic technology!
For the barrel maintenance of T-155 Storm howitzers in the TAF inventory, the existing device and cleaning methods were examined and a domestic production automatic barrel cleaning device, Çingi, was developed.
Çıngı, a domestic production automatic barrel cleaning device, has been developed for the barrel maintenance of the Fırtına howitzer , which makes a great contribution to the firepower of the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) .
SSTEK Defense Industry Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), operates to support the domestic and national development and production of critical technologies for the defense of the country.
SSTEK's subsidiaries DELTAV, ULAK, GGTEK and TRTEST will introduce their products and works at the company's booth, which will take place at the 14th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF'19) . SSTEK will also introduce the first product bearing its own brand at IDEF'19 . Launching the first domestic automatic barrel cleaning device, the company will exhibit 155, 120 and 203 millimeter versions of the product called Çıngı at the fair.
Barrel life is reduced in traditional methods
In parallel with the rapid development of today's weapon systems and ammunition, the importance of barrel cleaning and maintenance is increasing. While barrel maintenance and cleaning methods require cost-effective solutions, traditional cleaning methods; It brings along logistical problems such as high labor requirement and long maintenance time.While cleaning the barrel takes a lot of time under current conditions, it is done manually by a group of soldiers with a brush longer than the barrel, special oil and fabric. Since the cleaning is completely done according to the dexterity of the soldier, the sensitivity of cleaning changes. This situation reduces the barrel life due to not reaching the desired cleaning level and causes high costs afterwards.
Cringing , which has the ability to work automatically in barrel cleaning , greatly shortens the cleaning times, cleans the barrel with the desired precision and prevents copperization that may occur in the barrel.
Locality will bring many advantages
The locally produced Çıngı was manufactured with a unique design for the barrel maintenance of the T-155 Storm howitzers, which are in the TAF inventory, by examining the existing equipment and cleaning methods.With the advantage of local supply and spare parts in design and manufacturing, maximum failure feedback in every part of the battlefield, effective use of the barrels and precise shooting capability are aimed. The Çıngı, which was manufactured as a prototype in various barrel diameters , was tested under real combat conditions and was put into the service of the Turkish defense industry and the needy authorities under the SSTEK brand .
Çıngı, which is shaped in line with the needs of TAF user unions ; It can operate successfully in barreled weapon systems on land, sea and air platforms . With its easy-to-carry design, Çıngı performs barrel cleaning in the shortest time and with minimum labor requirement.
Weapon system not out of service
The device is designed to start cleaning from the muzzle of the muzzle if desired, or from the breech section if desired, and can move forward and backward independently in the barrel by means of the sensitive sensors on it. The vibrating movement of the forward/backward-moving brush system in the front of the device removes the dirt and debris formed in the barrel from the surface, while the brush in the rear section cleans the barrel by sweeping the inside of the barrel with the rotation effect of the grooves and sets. The cleaning effect is increased by spraying the cleaning liquid in the device into the entire barrel or to the desired parts of the barrel. Barrel cleaning can be done in less than 30 minutes for the storm howitzer. Weapon systems do not need to be taken out of service during the cleaning process.Designed with military standards and waterproof for ease of transport, the carrying case weighs less than 22 kilograms, including all accessories for the 155 millimeter kit.
