Ash conditioners (also called ash unloaders) minimize the environmental impact of unloading ash, the particulate matter which is the by-product of the power generation processes used in industrial applications. Ash conditioners are fitted with paddles which churn the dry ash with water to create a damp substance. This substance is then transferred to a roll-off truck below for transport for final disposal. Ash conditioners are a highly effective pre-treatment system which helps to reduce the amount of ash released into the air prior to final disposal.
Construction features
While able to fabricate custom size and capacity unloaders, Process Barron offers three standard ash conditioner sizes, with processing capacity ranging from 1600 - 4300 cubic feet / hour. These complete 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 dustring during load-out. Large inspection doors provide convenient paddle access without requiring screw removal.
