Is there a Trash Incinerator I can
use on my Ranch?
(New Mexico)
I am looking for a trash incinerator for my ranch that I manage in New Mexico. We have always burned our trash in a burn barrel, but we recently found out that is it illegal. We are very remote and there is no trash service. So I am trying to find an incinerator that we can buy that is compliance with local regulations.
It must be a combustion chamber that is preferably either diesel or propane. We have both diesel fuel and bulk propane on site. We would burn kitchen and household trash, sometimes boxes and paper.
Thank you for contacting us! We do have an incinerator for burning trash that could help you with your disposal needs. This incinerator uses a steel drum combustion system that allows you to burn your trash materials in a 55 gallon steel container that tough & safe for this kind of process.
While you have mentioned the need for this chamber to use with diesel or propane, the model we offer actually requires no external fuel at all. To start the incinerator process, all you would have to do is place a layer of cardboard or paper on the top of the materials you need burned. In your case, this could probably be some of the items you need to burn anyway.
After this layer has been placed on top of the unit, all that is required is for you to start the burn. After it has started up, place the lid on the drum and start the incinerator process. On average, the amount of ash that remains after this burning process is equal to only three percent (3%) of the initial volume you placed inside the incinerator.
An additional bonus for this particular incinerator is that it is portable. This can come in handy as it allows you to move the incinerator to where it will be most convenient to use (providing that it is still placed a minimum of 10 feet from your building). It also makes the incinerator easier to store as it can be stored and used in two different locations.
This trash incinerator has the following features and dimensions:
- An average burn rate of 50 lbs. per hour
- Electrical Requirements of 120 or 220 Volts
- Height of 46 inches
- Stainless Steel Lid
- Floor Space of 36 inches x 26 inches
- 2 Blowers
