ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for producing ignitable material (10) having an angled, rotatable, hollow drum (12) with a high end entrance (14) and a low end exit (16). A molten treatment vat (18) containing molten treatment (44), such as paraffin, within which angled, rotatable, hollow drum (12) is rotated is also provided. The treatment vat (18) is heated so that the treatment (44) contained in the vat is kept molten. Additionally, ejection guides (58) are attached interiorly of the hollow drum adjacent the low end exit (16). Further, a molten treatment excess return (46) is connected to the low end so that the material introduced at the high end entrance (14) which is rotated through the molten treatment (44) and then ejected by the ejection guides (58) from the exit end (16) is allowed to shed excess molten treatment (44) which is returned to the molten treatment vat (18) for reuse. In a preferred embodiment, a variable speed motor (34) is also utilized so that the angled, rotatable, hollow drum (12) is rotatable at various speeds depending on the needs of the moment. Further, in a preferred embodiment, green wood is the material to be treated and a dryer (94) is utilized to dry the green wood and a chunking machine (78) is utilized to create chunks of wood (92) that are appropriately sized. Once treated, the material is cooled and sacked for use.
