Overview

The Merris WX-5 Wood Waste Burner, an innovative approach to managing wood waste, is designed with sustainability and efficiency at its forefront. Central to the WX-5 is its durable 13' x 4'7'' x 6' refractory-walled FireBox, crafted to endure extreme temperatures while delivering high combustion efficiency. Featuring advanced air curtain technology, the WX-5 produces a strong, high-velocity airflow across the burn chamber. This unique technology captures particulates and smoke, enabling complete combustion and drastically reducing emissions for a lower environmental footprint. The system efficiently reburns particles, achieving exceptionally clean combustion of wood waste. Not only does the Merris WX-5 boast remarkable environmental benefits, but it's also highly portable and easy to set up. It's ideally suited for various settings, including forestry, land management, construction sites, and remote areas, where effective and environmentally responsible wood waste disposal is necessary. A standout feature of the WX-5 is its capability to generate valuable biochar, offering a sustainable waste disposal solution that aligns with its eco-friendly advantages. With the ability to process up to 2 tons per hour, the Merris WX-5 Wood Waste Burner marks a significant advancement in waste management technology, combining efficiency, sustainability, and convenience in a compact package.

Additional Information

How It Works

  • Start a fire in the burn box chamber

  • Add wood until fire has taken hold

  • Start engine

  • Turn on fan

  • Add wood waste to the fire and repeat

  • When fire is out (typically over night) clear the charcoal and start burning again

  • To extend the burn, it is common to dig a pit under the box so that more charcoal can built up

Operating Notes

  • It is typical to burn through out the day

  • This is a robust machine and where wood waste is loaded from the top

  • The air diffuser is thick metal pipe and can withstand some abuse of dropping wood into the chamber

  • This is a HIGH temperature machine (paint will peel, etc. due to heat)

Transportation

  • Typically lifted onto trailers or flatbed trucks to transport between job sites

  • This machine can be lifted with an excavator

  • On the job site, the air burner is typically pulled around with an excavator or loader

Why We Like this Equipment

  • Low cost alternative to expensive grinders and hammer mills (if disposal is the main use case)

  • Clean and environmentally friendly (EPA Title V approved)

  • Simple machine to dispose of wood waste, clean lumber, yard waste

  • Bio char post burn material can be used for fertilizer

  • Smokeless burner does not alert neighbors or businesses in the area

EPA Approved

On April 11, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency removed title V permit requirements for air curtain incinerators that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, yard waste, or a mixture of these three types of waste. (See in the documents section a ruling on air curtain burners)
