  • Page 5: Principle Of Air Curtain Incineration

    S300 Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner with HATZ 4H50TIC Diesel Engine OPERATING MANUAL PRINCIPLE OF AIR CURTAIN INCINERATION OPERATION Air curtain incinerators are designed primarily as a pollution control device. Using a diesel engine driven fan, these machines generate a curtain of air with a very particular mass flow and velocity.

    S300 Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner with HATZ 4H50TIC Diesel Engine OPERATING MANUAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS READ ALL SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE YOU BEGIN BURNING OPERATIONS The S-Series machine operator is dealing with fire on a daily basis. It is very important that each and every individual involved with the machine be alert and practice very rig- id safety precautions.
  • Page 10 S300 Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner with HATZ 4H50TIC Diesel Engine OPERATING MANUAL NEVER use highly combustible materials to light the unit. Highly combustible materials such as gasoline, refined spirits, etc. ignite at an explosive rate which may cause serious injury or death. The safest method to start the fire in the box is to use materials such as paper and kindling wood.
  • Page 11 S300 Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner with HATZ 4H50TIC Diesel Engine OPERATING MANUAL Personal Safety Operators need to be aware of the following potential hazards: A) Flying hot embers being released from the fire. Operators or anyone within the 100 foot radius of the fire should wear appropriate fire resistant clothing. The ideal outwear for an operator would include a Nomex jacket, leather gloves, eye protection, hard hat, cotton work jeans and steel toe boots.

  • Page 18 SITE PREPARATION Faster operation through staging the wood piles Air Burners FireBoxes were designed primarily as a pollution control device, but oper- ated correctly they will burn clean wood two or three times faster than open burning. To achieve the best throughput, the fire must remain at the highest temperature possi- ble.
  • Page 19 S300 Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner with HATZ 4H50TIC Diesel Engine OPERATING MANUAL SITE PREPARATION The “Two Pile System” For an efficient operation you would have two piles: The first pile or “main debris” pile, is the material being generated from the land clear- ing or forest clearing operation and is located away from the ember path but with good access to your loading machinery.

    S300 Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner with HATZ 4H50TIC Diesel Engine OPERATING MANUAL SHUTDOWN HOW TO BURN THE FIRE DOWN FOR SHUTDOWN All loading should stop one or two hours before you intend to put the fire out. As the fire burns down, maintain the air speed until the FireBox begins to smoke. As the smoke increases, reduce the air speed.

  • Page 26: Ash Removal

    The box should not be run with over 3 feet of ash inside. There are generally three ways to empty the ash: (1) by use of Air Burners’ Ash Rake, (2) by excavating it out and (3) by dragging the unit forward.

You can remove some or all of the ash by reaching in through the rear doors with an excavator and scooping the ash out.
