What You Should Know Before Purchasing an Incinerator

Before purchasing an incinerator, it’s important to do your homework. There are a lot of factors to consider in the purchase of an incinerator. Doing your research ahead of time will ensure that your new incinerator that fully meets your needs. Here are some things to ask yourself before you purchase an incinerator or cremator. Firelake Manufacturing has many helpful resources to help you get started.

What is the incinerator’s primary purpose?

One of the biggest factors to consider is your primary purpose for the incinerator. If it is for animal waste, commercial waste, organic waste, or medical waste, you want to make sure the incinerator you purchase is large enough to get the job done efficiently and expediently. This is especially important for animal waste, as there are health and safety concerns with how long animals remain out in the open. If it is important that the incinerator is mobile, a trailer-mounted incinerator has benefits of easily moving to different location. The incinerator’s primary purpose will determine the size/capacity, usage amount, performance, and temperature of the incinerator. 

What size incinerator will best serve your needs?

Consider the incinerator size that will best serve your needs. Will you be disposing of large animals like horses or dairy cows? Are you operating an incinerator for a veterinary or pet crematorium? Or are you only burning smaller things like organic materials? The size of the incinerator you purchase will contribute to how efficiently it will operate, how much fuel it will need, and how often you can use it. 

What is the least expensive incinerator fuel in your area? 

There are incinerators available to purchase that use diesel, gas, or propane. If one fuel type is much less expensive than another in your area, that may inform what type of incinerator you purchase.
