Miscellaneous
1. Clothing
2. Gloves
3. Oily Rags
4. Packaging Materials
These kinds of materials will burn very good. Moisture content must be low to ensure
proper incineration. To start the process, it is necessary to add and light an amount of
cardboard and newspapers to the top of the materials.
Plastics
This unit will incinerate a variety of plastics. An oily absorbent and plenty of
newspapers will be required to start the actual incineration of the plastic. The plastic
will melt down to a molten state, and then it will burn very hot. Although the unit will
incinerate plastics with no smoke, emissions are often not acceptable with individual
states’ air quality standards. WARNING: Plastics should not be incinerated
without approval from your state officials.
Use of Liquid Oils/Diesel Fuels/Fuel Oils (An optional OilAway attachment is
available for large amounts.)
Successful testing has been completed for disposing of free oils containing no
absorbent materials. Although care in loading the drum is needed, it is an alternative
to mixing absorbent with the oil for disposal in SmartAsh.
A maximum of 20 gallons of liquid per load is recommended. Some small pieces of
wood material are required for the disposing of oils in this manner. Four to five pieces
of 2”x4” material 6” in length is sufficient. The wood pieces are put into the unit and
allowed to float on the oil and act as a wick to support the flame. The unit is ignited in
the same fashion as other materials being disposed of in the unit.
CAUTION: Do not overload the drum (20-gallon maximum)! If the drum is
overloaded during the incineration process, the oil will become hot and boil
over, causing severe damage to the unit components.
