Abstract
A garbage incinerator with tunnel furnace combustion includes a tunnel furnace serving as the burner unit, a number of carriers serving as the burner beds, and a specified track course to deliver the garbage-loaded carriers into the tunnel furnace to incinerate the garbage. A hopper is provided to receive the garbage and spread it evenly onto the carrier. Each carrier is driven into the tunnel furnace to burn the garbage and includes a bottom loading plate onto which the consumed embers fall. An automatic ember removing equipment is provided for to remove the embers from the carrier. The carriers travel on a circular track so that they continuously move in and out of the furnace.
