Wet Bath Ash Conveyor

Following the main combustion process within the incinerator ash will periodically be discharged via a hydraulically operated ash release gate. This allows the hot ash to drop into a water bath that firstly quenches the temperature and then stabilises the ash to prevent any wind dispersion. A continuous loop flighted chain conveyor operates to sweep up the ash before transporting it into a separate road transportable ash skip. The operation of the conveyor is automatically controlled to coincide with the opening of the ash release door.
