India's first indigenously manufactured blast containment bin, TBRL certified. Fully sealed containment of blast overpressure and all primary and secondary fragments — for static deployment at high-value venues, airports and government buildings.
The SMI Blast Containment Bin is a fully sealed, heavy-duty containment vessel designed to completely contain the blast overpressure, heat and all fragments from a detonating IED placed inside. Unlike a bomb basket, the bin provides total containment — no pressure or fragments escape — making it the appropriate choice for indoor or crowded environments where venting is not acceptable.
The bin uses a multi-layer construction of high-tensile steel outer shell, blast energy-absorbing liner and fragmentation capture layer. A sealed lid locks in place before the device is detonated, and the structure is designed to remain intact and non-fragmented after the detonation event — preventing the bin itself from becoming a hazard.
India's first indigenously manufactured blast containment bin — developed by SMI in 2005, previously only available through expensive UK and USA imports. TBRL certified for Indian government and police procurement.

The multi-layer sealed construction captures 100% of fragments and contains all blast overpressure. No primary or secondary fragments escape the vessel — eliminating the secondary injury zone that exists even with venting systems.
Developed in 2005 by SMI as India's first domestically manufactured blast containment bin — ending dependence on UK and USA imports at a fraction of the cost. Certified to the same performance standards as the imported equivalents it replaced.
Designed for use inside airport terminals, metro stations, shopping centres and government buildings where a venting solution would send blast energy and heat into the occupied space. Total containment means no evacuation radius for the vessel itself.
