We feel grateful to our valued clients and to the regulatory authorities for their suggestions and new specifications which help us to come up with new ideas and designs. One such case in point is the `waste charging equipment`.

The incinerator`s primary chamber is always under negative pressure. Of this everyone is aware. But still while loading solid waste through a charging door, there are chances of the waste catching fire outside the door and causing injury to the operator. This will not happen if it is loaded carefully. For this safety concern, many of our customers requested for an automatic or semi-automatic loading arrangement.

After sometime, a new regulation came into existence, by which both bio-medical and hazardous waste incinerators are required to be provided with automatic loading/charging arrangements.

This helped us around 2 decades ago to design a `Ram loader` for the primary combustion chamber. This arrangement consisted of

•             Vertical and horizontal doors

•             Hydraulic rams

•             Hydraulic power pack with accessories

When made, fully assembled and connected to the incinerator, the ram loader functions in such a way that when the  waste is loaded, there is a synchronous movement of the two doors, facilitating pushing of the waste into the chamber and simultaneous opening the chamber orifice door. After the waste charging is over, there are automatic return movements until the chamber is fully closed. There is thus no manual intervention of the operator with the incinerator charging door open and his safety is fully addressed in this design.

It has been a while since the first Haat Semi-automatic Ram Loader was made. The latest score must be in the region of a few hundred. We are happy they are all functioning without problems.
