Ash Bin

Primarily employed within a stepped hearth configuration where the waste material is progressively propelled by a hydraulic ram through the different phases of combustion until it reaches the hot ash stage. At this point a refractory lined hydraulically operated ash ram loader will force the combusted ash remains from the primary chamber into an ash vestibule that is sealed by a gravity closed ash release door. Periodically, as the ash level accumulates, air is introduced into the ash vestibule to cool the ash and complete the combustion cycle before the ash door automatically opens to release the ash, allowing it to drop into a wheeled ash container ready for disposal.
