Large Wood Waste Burner

The air curtain burner is highly efficient machine for disposing of wood waste and creates no smoke.

Machine Layout

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

• Hook lift (i.e. common with roll on / roll off dumpsters) is an option for transport

• 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)
