ABSTRACT:
An animal carcass incineration process comprising the steps of: providing a large hopper with a large spring loaded trap door at the top, a series of stationary and rotating blades in the center and a second set of spring loaded doors below. The hopper features a double walled construction which serves to keep the blade drive gears and rollers away from the carcasses as they are being processed through the rotating blades. The carcass hopper blade assembly incorporates a slide out drawer allowing the entire unit to slide out for maintenance and cleaning. A ramp is provided that leads to the top of the hopper to allow a rendering truck to dump carcasses directly into the hopper. A large pipe is provided with an opening beneath the bottom of the hopper and includes a hydraulically driven auger for forcing the shredded carcasses upward along the pipe. A very hot exhaust gas pipe is vented into the auger pipe and is used for removing moisture from the carcass to be burned. Once the carcass remains have reached the top of the auger pipe they are dumped into an incinerator unit that is driven by a hot blower induced oil fire. Heavy smoke and ash from this first stage burning then enters a secondary incineration area that incorporates burning via natural gas. The remaining exhaust gases enter a multi-level filter to catch remaining particles.
