Portable Bio Burner

Portable bio burner GRAIN DRYERS Grain Dryers (29E) 10-1-21 "It's the biggest and most practical crop-burning furnace ever built," say manufacturers of the new "Bio-Burner" a king-size, go-anywhere combination crop dryer and furnace that puts out as much as 1,000,000 btu's per hour. Mounted on a heavy-duty trailer and equipped with lights for over-the-road travel, the Bio-Burner features a unique auger-feed design that allows it to burn corn cobs, woodchips, and other pelleted biomass materials. It consists of a large hopper which gravity feeds into a 10-in. auger which feeds into the bottom of the large stainless steel burning chamber. Temperatures inside the burning chamber are extremely high, reaching up to 2,500?, so that less than 2% of residue is left to be cleaned out. Rate of burn is controlled by a small force feed fan and heated air is collected from the heat exchange chamber around the firebox by a 7¢ hp. fan that blows air through a flexible heat conduit that connects up to dryers, barns or houses. Can be quickly and easily disconnected and moved to other locations. The company says the Bio-Burner is particularly well-suited to burning corn cobs and notes that a field of corn yielding 150 bu. per acre of corn will produce an amount of cobs equivalent to 150 gal. of LP gas. The bio-burner is fully automated, constantly monitoring heated air temperature. It has a stainless steel burning chamber, a spark arrestor on the flue, and an hour meter that helps determine savings. Sells for $15,000.
