INCINERATORS AND CREMATORS ARE OUR GAME

Incineration

Waste of whatever nature is a reality of modern day living and has the potential to have a negative effect on the environment and all those living on earth.

Incineration is a waste treatment process which essentially burns waste material, albeit domestic waste or industrial waste, in a gas or oil burning furnace. More specifically, incineration is a waste management process that converts waste materials into ash, flue gas and heat. Following the combustion process, the ash that is created is rendered safe and may be disposed of at landfill sites. The flue gases which arise as a result of combustion are then cleaned through a heated refractory screen and the use of stainless steel grit arrestors, so as to remove small particles (fly ash). In some cases the flue gases are passed through a scrubber system, rendering these gases non toxic and safe for the environment. The heat generated from the combustion process may be used to generate electric power or be used for heating purposes (e.g. water).

When conducted in the correct manner, incineration is an effective means of reducing the volume of waste generated, which consequently has a significant reduction on the area that is required for landfill sites. Furthermore, the proper process of incineration greatly reduces the danger of potential ground water pollution at these landfill sites. The process of waste incineration can also be said to be a reasonably safe, hygienic and cost effective means of disposing of waste, particularly contaminated waste and waste containing toxins. As such therefore, incineration is a useful manner in which to dispose of medical waste and certain types of hazardous and chemical waste products, given that high temperatures are effective in destroying toxins and pathogens so as to render these substances harmless.

Cremation

Similar to incineration, cremation is a means of reducing a dead body, whether human or animal, to ash and bone fragments through the use of high temperatures within a gas or oil burning furnace. On completion of the cremation process, which occurs one body at a time, all hot ash is removed from the hearth and placed in a hot box for cooling. The ash is then processed and all metal objects removed. The ash is then crushed or pulverised to ensure an even texture. The combustion process which occurs during cremation is a clean and odourless procedure, and provides an efficient means of final dissolution.

Our Game

The Incinerator Factory designs and manufactures incinerators and cremators which are compliant with the South African Air Pollution Prevention Act. The design of these machines is optimised to cut down on fuel consumption and provide an efficient and safe combustion process. Further to the design of and manufacture of incinerators and cremators, we also install new machines and service, repair and maintain existing units. The Incinerator Factory is also able to advise clients accordingly, should they wish to refurbish an existing machine. Our incinerators are particularly suited to hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, mines, hotels and schools, for the destruction of putrescible and non-putrescible waste in a hygienic and environmentally friendly way. The use of incinerators is also suitable for veterinary waste such as animal carcasses and waste from abattoirs. Incineration is further a useful process for the disposing of material that is collected at the inlet screens of sewage treatment plants.

The Incinerator Factory supplies incinerators and cremators both locally and internationally.
