The right agricultural waste incinerator can ensure that you dispose of agricultural waste efficiently, safely, and by permit codes, as required by your municipality. The type of agricultural incinerator that you choose will depend upon its primary purpose, how often you will use it, and the amount of farm waste and fuel you plan to use. Take into consideration the following before selecting your agricultural animal incinerator.
Your primary farm waste needs should be considered first. What are your main areas of expertise: animal husbandry and processing, slaughterhouses, shelters, processing etc? What type and quantity of farm waste generate you? How much and how often do you plan on disposing of agricultural debris? You can start narrowing your choices of agricultural waste incinerators by answering these questions.
You should also consider what type of fuel you would prefer and the price and availability in your region. Our farm incinerators burn either natural gas, propane or diesel. Consider letting us know if there is a fuel that’s cheaper or more readily available in your area. This will help us find the ideal farm incinerator to suit your needs. Consider whether the Secondary Afterburner Chamber will be needed to reduce smoke and other emissions.

Firelake Manufacturing receives inquiries in many different industries. These range from farmers to police agencies. Here are some questions that we commonly ask to better understand what incinerator, or cremator, will be best for your needs. Before you buy an Incinerator, do some research to determine what your needs are.
The systems require either a triple-phase, single-phase, or LPG connection. Models are available from small, 10kg/hour up to large, 700kg/hour. A common mistake is purchasing the wrong machine. It’s not always best to go bigger when trying to incinerate as much waste as possible. If a machine can’t handle the necessary throughput, it can cause overfilling. This effectively chokes out the air in the chamber and prevents combustion.
Learn how to load waste into the primary combustion chamber, what length of time is required for the burn and create a cleaning schedule. To determine the right machine for your farm, you must first establish the size and the mortality rates. On-farm incinerators are rarely a cause for concern, since they follow Defra’s guidelines and meet the emission standards.
It is more likely that there will be opposition in urban areas or when the site is surrounded by trees or structures. Incinerator towers can be extended so that they clear any obstacles. Depending on the authorities, extra height could mean that planning is required. Farmers who do voice concerns or objections are often frustrated by their lack of understanding. Incinerators tend to be associated with smoke. This is a common misconception.
Incinerators need to be kept away from housing, natural watercourses, and anything flammable. It must have an enclosed, rigid structure or a specially built, well-ventilated shelter to protect it against the elements. It is also necessary to have a steady electrical supply at installation. As machines are all different in weight, this varies from site to site. Incinerators should be mounted to a flat concrete base capable of supporting the weight.
