RUTEC R5000 PUR bullet trap granulate

RUTEC R5000 is a bullet trap granulate made of polyurethane elastomer (PUR), usually a mixture of granules of different colours and hardness. It is an alternative to sand as a bullet trap medium and is used in indoor shooting ranges as well as on outdoor ranges.

RUTEC R5000 at a glance:

• Nominal grain size 8–22.4 mm, 6–8 mm on request
• Building material class B2 according to DIN 4102-1 for RUTEC R5000 (DMT test certificates for 6–8 mm and 8–22.4 mm)
• For indoor and outdoor shooting ranges
• Firing tests at the state proof house in Mellrichstadt, among others; tests of R5000 and R5000N (partly with cover sheet) received positive assessments from the Bundeswehr shooting range coordination office at the Bavarian State Construction Directorate (Landesbaudirektion Bayern) in 2018, 2020 and 2023 – each for the configuration tested; this does not constitute a general approval
• Low bulk density: approx. 450–620 kg/m³ loosely poured (depending on the batch)

The required layer thickness and energy limits depend on weapons, ammunition and installation; we state them in our quotation. Approval for a specific range is given by the responsible shooting range expert. Bullet residues can be separated from the granulate; recommendations on maintenance and cleaning intervals are provided with our quotation.

RUTEC R5000 can be installed over the entire surface or as a top layer on an existing sand bullet trap. We also recommend a substructure that prevents the granulate from sliding off and a natural rubber-based cover sheet (RUTEC R1078) that keeps foreign matter away.
