Site Information

1. The A1600 incinerators are designed to be in a covered installation on a concrete slab, which should be smooth and impervious to aid in cleaning around the incinerator area. Drainage or some bunding around the incinerator area is ideal to avoid any waste materials running off the concrete slab.

2. The A1600 may be installed in a three-sided shelter, but must comply with local building and fire codes for clearances from combustible walls and materials, with ample ventilation (also allow for wind direction). A minimum clearance of 1.25m around the incinerator is recommended for service and maintenance.

3. The incinerator should be sited away from animals, feed or bedding areas. For health and safety reasons the incinerator area should be kept locked at all times when not supervised.

Please note that it is essential to use an authorised technician for the electrical and fuel installation and inspection Electrical Service – 220 Volt, 50/60 HZ, 10 Amp

1. Electrical service can be supplied by plugging into the cord set. NOTE: Polarity must be maintained or the burners will not operate. If burners ‘lock out’ after approximately 5 seconds and the blower continues to operate, then the polarity is incorrect. It should be corrected at the power source, not in the incinerator control. Fuel

⇒ Assemble the tubing, oil filter, cut-off cock and fittings between the tank and burner. (NB tubing between the oil tank and burner to be supplied by the customer)

Oil Tank

⇒ Since tanks vary in size and fixtures, additional piping may be needed. ⇒ It is important that a filter be provided in the line between the tank and the

incinerator. There must be a flow and return pipe with two pipe system ⇒ If the flow outlet is on the underside of the tank, extend a threaded nipple

about 5cm into the tank to avoid problems from dirt / condensation in the bottom of the tank

⇒ Please note that single pipe installation is advisable using a tiger loop.

Assembly Instructions Site

1. Position the incinerator on the concrete slab as needed for fuel and electrical hook up.

Primary Chamber

1. (IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE DOOR IS NICELY BALANCED AND MAKES A FIRM SEAL AROUND THE WHOLE CASE WHEN CLOSED SHUT – FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN RESULT IN THE INGRESS OF COLD AIR ALLOWING DAMAGE TO THE REFRACTORY LINING WHEN HOT)

2. Slide out counterbalance arm and secure in place with the 3 x bolts supplied.

Slide out counterbalance arm and bolt into place (See above , before and after) Stack / Chimney

1. Slide on the stainless steel stack over the chimney outlet on the secondary chamber and bolt into place.

Burner

1. Attach the 2 x burners at each burner port. 2. Attach the burner plugs to the relevant plug on the control box, i.e AA to

AA, BB to BB 3. Connect the pipe work including pressure gauge. 4. Place the steel burner covers over each burner.

Temperature Probes

1. Slide the temperature probes in each location (2) Location 1 is at the rear , top of the secondary chamber.

2. Location 2 is approx 60cm below the control box

7

Control Box

1. Connect the electrical control box to a power supply. (Use a qualified electrician)

2. Place the box on the mounting plate

Control box settings Timer 1 - 10 minutes Timer 2 - 6 hours (Includes 40 minute secondary chamber pre warm)

Timer 3 - 9 hours (Includes 40 minute secondary chamber pre warm) Timer 4 - 12 hours (Includes 40 minute secondary chamber pre warm) NB Once the cycles have finished the burner fans will remain on for 8 hours for cool down.

Commissioning and start up procedures

1. It is imperative that the refractory has been cured (see page 10 for details) 2. All pipe work must be checked for leak tightness and should be free from dirt

and debris. Welding slag needs to be removed and the pipe work should be completely clear of any obstruction.

3. It is important that the burner is set correctly by adjusting the air / fuel flow. When looking at the burner flame it should not be producing black smoke at the ends of the flames, small adjustments should be made to lean the flame so that it is clean.

The above should also be checked after periods of shutdown. OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS Curing of the refractory is essential prior to burning the first load of waste.

1. The incinerator should not be modified in any way not in keeping with the manufacturers instructions, this will not only void warranty but will possibly fail to meet ‘ABPR’ (UK)

2. Dedicated tools should be used for use with the incinerator only, and not be used elsewhere.

3. REMOVE ASHES before loading the incinerator. 4. NOW LOAD THE INCINERATOR. 5. Select the required time (nos. 2- 4, see above) to ignite the burner, (Number

1 is for commissioning only)6. The secondary burner will operate for about 40 minutes, then the primary

burner will ignite. (Ensure that the temperature is reading 850 deg C or above, otherwise Restart the process.

7. Dependant on which time setting has been selected (also dependant on size of load to incinerate)

8. Lock the unit door to ensure that no one can inadvertently access the chamber during the burn

9. An optional temperature cut off device can be fitted where needed. 10. The burners will AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF when the chosen burn time is

completed. The fan should remain on for a period of time (normally 8 hours) after the burn cycle or when the primary chamber is less than 50 deg C or less

11. For the best results BURN DAILY TO A WHITE ASH 12. Do not store carcasses in the incinerator chamber. ‘Singe and burn’ does not

constitute an approved pre-incineration storage process. 13. In case of any form of breakdown, shut down the burner immediately (if

possible leave fan running).

Refractory Curing Procedure Curing process should be done using control panel settings DAY 1 Start Burner using number 1 timer position 10 minutes ON Allow cooling for 50 minutes REPEAT THIS 12 (TWELVE) TIMES. I.E. OVER A 12 HOUR PERIOD DAY 2 Start Burner using number 2 timer position 6 Hours ON Allow cooling for 6 Hours The unit is now ready to operate normally Total Burner Time 8 hours There will be hairline cracks and minor scaling of the refractory when curing is completed. This is a normal result of the curing process

10

Inspection Procedures

Periodic inspection and servicing of the units is required to maintain optimum operation We recommend the following schedule: - Assuming the unit has been installed and tested by a suitably qualified gas/ electrical engineer. 1st service (post installation check up) after 50 hours of operation Regular service/ inspection 1000 hours or annually, whichever is the sooner. Service / Inspection procedures should include…..

1. Check for leaks in all pipe-work and gas supply 2. Check for leak tightness of the unit ensuring all waste gas travels up the

chimney output 3. All safety shut off valves and safety guards should be inspected. 4. A temperature and combustion analysis should be performed to ensure that

there is no deterioration of incinerator performance. 5. Timers should be calibrated to ensure that they reflect a true reading and

ensure that the safety cut off applies.

Incinerators - Recommended Maintenance Programme

Main Chamber

⇒ Open the chamber door and check around the rim of the chamber for leakage, this is normally easily visible as there may be blackening beyond the area where the door seats. If there is blackening and therefore leakage, then the fire cord around the door / lid should be checked and replaced if damaged. Close the door and inspect for any signs of gaps when tightly closed. Adjustments may need to be made to the locking catch to tighten the seal, also the counterbalance weights may need to be adjusted so that they allow the lid to sit firmly, (normally the lid should be balanced, allowing easy opening and closing with one hand).

⇒ Check for leak tightness of the unit ensuring all waste gas travels up the chimney output

⇒ Check the integrity of the main chamber refractory lining. When the unit is cool, it is normal to see hairline cracks; these disappear when the unit is hot. Any large chips or cracks can be simply filled with an approved fire cement (approved to 1500 deg C).

⇒ Check the burner outlet hole and make sure that the area is clear from any debris and that the integrity of the refractory liner is good.

⇒ Check all around the outside of the chamber for any bent or buckled steel (this can arise from corroded internal refractory lining. Any damage needs to be investigated and resolved internally before making any external repairs or welds.

⇒ Check all external bolts for corrosion (especially if unit is located outside) and replace where necessary.

⇒ Discolouration of the stainless chimney stack is normal, although watch for corrosion where the stack meets the steel chamber (especially where units are located inside but the stack is incorrectly fitted through the roof allowing water to run down the outer skin of the chimney) see page 14.

⇒ Check for leaks in all pipe-work and gas supply ⇒ All safety shut off valves and safety guards should be inspected. ⇒ A temperature and combustion analysis should be performed to ensure that

there is no deterioration of incinerator performance ⇒ Timers should be calibrated to ensure that they reflect a true reading and

ensure that the safety cut off applies. ⇒ Check burners for correct setting (see installation manual on set up

procedures), the air / fuel mix should be set so that there is no black smoke at the flame tips and there is not excessive fuel use.

⇒ Where necessary it is possible to remove any corrosion or discolouration (normally on units kept outside) using a wire brush and rust remover. The un its can be re-sprayed in those places (matching heat resistant paint available from Inciner8)

⇒ Tighten up and inspect any bolts which will have loosened due to settlement, especially where the secondary chamber meets the primary chamber.
