Ash Conditioners & Unloaders
Ash conditioners (also called ash unloaders) are key to the ash handling system. As one of the last steps in the ash handling process, ash conditioners minimize the environmental impact of ash handling and unloading that is the by-product of power generation processes.
Ash conditioners are a highly effective pre-treatment system, helping to reduce the amount of ash released into the air prior to final disposal.

Ash Conditioners: Construction Features
To ensure that unloading stage of the ash handling system is effective, ProcessBarron fits ash conditioners with paddles that churn the dry ash with water to create a damp substance. This substance is then transferred to a roll-off truck below for transport and final disposal.
While able to fabricate custom size and capacity ash unloaders, ProcessBarron offers three standard ash conditioner sizes, with processing capacity ranging from 1600 - 4300 cubic feet / hour. These complete ash handling system assemblies include motor and drive, and feature abrasion resistant paddles reinforced with ceramic tips for long service life.
A gradual three stage wetting process facilitates improved mixing of water and ash as it flows through the conditioner, which helps minimize dusting during load-out. Large inspection doors provide convenient paddle access without requiring screw removal.
