PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The air-powered SmartAsh uses no external fuel. Simply load a 55-gallon (208-
liter), open head steel drum, light the load and clamp on the lid. A whirlwind of
fire and intense heat is created inside the drum, burning your refuse with no
smoke and no smell. Thousands of satisfied customers are currently using
SmartAsh around the world to eliminate a wide variety of burnable waste
materials. Combustion is complete, leaving ash equal to 3% by volume of the
original load.
Refer to Component Identification found on Page 7 to identify the major
components to be discussed in this manual. Listed below are some of those
components:
Blowers: Two blowers behind the motor cover draw air into the plenum. The
air feeds to the drum through the air hose and lid.
Spark Screen and Spark Deflector: The lid has two elements to block
emissions of burning material: the spark screen on top, and the internal
spark deflector, which can be seen beneath the exhaust vent in the lid.
Clamps: Four clamps hold the lid in place during burning.
Porthole and Porthole Cover: The porthole can be found on the lid and can
be closed by rotating the cover back into place.
CAUTION: If unit has been in operation, the porthole cover will be hot. Use
the end of the stir rod to close to avoid injury.
Air Shutter Control: Regulates air flow and controls the blower output.
Saf-Start Unit: Safety device that prevents SmartAsh from restarting
automatically after a power disturbance or interruption, even if the switch is
left in the ON position.
Before the first burn, the operator should practice mounting the lid on the drum
and securing it with the clamps. It is also a good idea to walk through the
ignition procedure a few times prior to the first burn to become acquainted with
the operation of the system.
