ABSTRACT:
A material processing apparatus includes a casing having a pyrolysis chamber for receiving and pyrolyzing feed materials therein into a gaseous material and solid ash residue, a mass of refractory material contained in the casing upon a bottom thereof, being spaced below a top and extending between opposite sides thereof, and including an inclined upper surface defining the bottom of the pyrolysis chamber and having a lower terminal edge being spaced from one of the opposite sides of the casing for defining a solid ash residue collection region therein, and a pusher mechanism disposed in the pyrolysis chamber for engaging and moving feed materials down the inclined upper surface of the refractory mass toward the lower terminal edge thereof. The apparatus also includes a shallow sloped terminal surface portion on the refractory mass inclined upper surface leading to the lower terminal edge thereof and a stop and release pivotal gate mechanism disposed over the collection region in the pyrolysis chamber and adjacent to the lower terminal edge and terminal surface portion on the refractory mass inclined upper surface which function together to control the flow of waste material from the terminal edge into the ash residue collection region so to regulate the residence time of the feed materials in the pyrolysis chamber before reaching the ash residue collection region therein to ensure substantially complete pyrolyzing of feed materials into gaseous and solid ash residue forms which are sterile, inert and non-hazardous to the environment.
