The Merris WX-5 Wood Waste Incinerator, an innovative approach to managing wood waste, is designed with sustainability and efficiency at its forefront. Central to the WX-5 is its durable 13' x 4'7'' x 6' refractory-walled FireBox, crafted to endure extreme temperatures while delivering high combustion efficiency. Featuring advanced air curtain technology, the WX-5 produces a strong, high-velocity airflow across the burn chamber. This unique technology captures particulates and smoke, enabling complete combustion and drastically reducing emissions for a lower environmental footprint. The system efficiently reburns particles, achieving exceptionally clean combustion of wood waste. Not only does the Merris WX-5 boast remarkable environmental benefits, but it's also highly portable and easy to set up. It's ideally suited for various settings, including forestry, land management, construction sites, and remote areas, where effective and environmentally responsible wood waste disposal is necessary. A standout feature of the WX-5 is its capability to generate valuable biochar, offering a sustainable waste disposal solution that aligns with its eco-friendly advantages. With the ability to process up to 3 tons per hour, the Merris WX-5 Wood Waste Burner marks a significant advancement in waste management technology, combining efficiency, sustainability, and convenience in a compact package.

It is typical to burn through out the day
This is a robust machine and where wood waste is loaded from the top
The air diffuser is thick metal pipe and can withstand some abuse of dropping wood into the chamber
This is a HIGH temperature machine (paint will peel, etc. due to heat)
Transportation
Typically lifted onto trailers or flatbed trucks to transport between job sites
This machine can be lifted with an excavator
On the job site, the air burner is typically pulled around with an excavator or loader
