ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for gasifying tires comprises a housing divided into a tire hopper and vaporization chamber into which air and combustible fluid are inserted through intake manifolds to initially combust and thereafter oxidize tires placed in the housing. Oxidation results in volatile gases and solid residue. The latter is removed through a hatch in the vaporization chamber and the former is shunted to a mixing chamber which comprises an outer compartment, a middle compartment, and an inner compartment. The middle compartment receives the volatile gases which are then mixed with air in the outer and inner compartments. The mixture is combusted with the aid of a combustible fluid mixed in and thereafter shunted to a combustion chamber which further mixes the combustible fluid by means of baffles to thoroughly combust the mixture.
