ABSTRACT:
A method and means for burning corn and corncobs is described. The apparatus includes a conical or pyramidal shaped perforated floor having a central opening formed therein which is in communication with a first conveyor which supplies the material to be burned thereto. A second conveyor extends around the periphery of the floor for carrying away the ashes of the burned material. The first conveyor forces the corncobs or corn upwardly through the central opening to form a mound or pile of material thereon. The mound of material is ignited and air is forced upwardly through the perforated floor to enhance combustion so that the material is substantially completely burned. The products of combustion are passed upwardly through a heat exchanger and filtered through the material delivered to the first conveyor before being exhausted to the atmosphere.
