Tire Skewer

AFS Technology has recently patented the Skewer Suspension Burner, which takes advantage of the donut shape of the tire to hold it in suspension for 100% fixed carbon burnout. With this method, multiple tires can be securely suspended in the high gas velocities of the riser duct or feed shelf hood for maximum NOx reduction benefit. Field testing has demonstrated feed rates exceeding 3 tons/hr for sustained periods, and possibly working over 6 tons/hr using two burners. Essentially there are two types of Tire Skewer Suspension Burners; the cantilevered and the spanning.  Each is based on the calciner diameter and the method tires are loaded on the skewer rod. Large diameter calciners will normally require the cantilevered version, while smaller diameter calciners will use the spanning version.
