SMARTASH
SmartAsh® cyclonic barrel burner is an innovative portable incinerator. Read our FAQ. Simply load a 55 gal / 208 L open-head steel drum, light the load and clamp on the lid. A whirlwind of fire and intense heat is created inside the drum, burning refuse without smoke or smell. Once combustion is complete only 3% ash remains. The SmartAsh mobile incinerator is ideal for remote locations with limited facilities for disposing of waste, such as mining, military, camps, expedition bases, and remote communities, etc. The Oil Away attachment can also be used to burn waste oils that may be hard to recycle in remote areas. It has also been used on-board ships. View a list of items that are burnable with SmartAsh.

OilAway Attachment
The OilAway Attachment is an accessory for the SmartAsh Cyclonic Barrel Burner that injects waste oil into the barrel during the burn cycle. This allows the SmartAsh to burn “wet” loads typically not burnable. SmartAsh with the OilAway Attachment also eliminates waste oil at rates up to 6 gal/hr / 23 L. Available in 110 volt and 220 volt versions.
Document Burner
The Document Burner is an insert that fits into the drum. This insert insures complete incineration of paper products and important documents when no other high BTU material is added.
Easy-Feed Lid and Cartridge
The Easy-Feed Cartridge allows operators to inject refuse into the barrel while the unit is in operation.
SmartHeat
SmartHeat is more than a furnace, it is an environmentally intelligent way to burn used absorbent materials on-site and to generate “free heat” at the same time. It eliminates waste management costs and worry over long term and second-person contamination liability. On-site burning of used absorbents is a “free fuel” creating a cost-saving auxiliary heat source for your facility.
SmartHeat is easy to operate. Simply load the SmartAsh with oily waste, ignite, and clamp on the lid. Switch on SmartHeats’ 1000 cfm blower. Vented to ambient air, SmartHeat pulls cool air from inside the building, forces it through the exterior heat exchanger (located above SmartAsh ), and returns heated air to assist in warming the facility. The super-heated air provides up to 400,000 Btu per hour of auxiliary “Free Heat”.
EPA Approval: Elastec’s SmartHeat energy recovery furnace complies with EPA ruling, 40 CFR#279.10 and management standards 40 CFR#279.23 (c), regulating the on-site burning of materials contaminated with oil.
