AGBI-350 350 kg agricultural incinerator

The AGBI-350 takes 350 kg per charge and burns at under 50 kg/h, so the planning unit is one charge a day rather than an hourly figure. The complete cycle — first load to complete burn-down, taking in heat-up, cool-down and ash removal — runs to several hours, and the exact figure is confirmed against your own waste at commissioning. Size it on what has to be cleared per cycle.

Batch. The AGBI-350 is charged, run, and emptied as one cycle rather than fed continuously. The practical planning unit is one cycle per working day, with cool-down and ash removal before the next charge.

The AGBI-350 is specified for crop residue & plant waste, invasive species & vegetation, livestock bedding & litter, forestry & timber waste and contaminated feed & grain. It reaches 850–1,200°C and holds flue gas above 850°C for two seconds in the secondary chamber, which is the Industrial Emissions Directive condition for these streams.

The AGBI-350 weighs 2.3 t installed; external dimensions are confirmed at quotation stage. You need clear working space around it for top loading, which usually means overhead access or a loading platform, plus a stack whose height comes out of a site-specific dispersion assessment rather than a standard figure.

Yes. Running this unit needs an environmental permit from the Environment Agency in England and Wales, SEPA in Scotland or NIEA in Northern Ireland. The waste codes for agricultural waste have to be named in the application, and a permit written for general waste does not silently cover them. We supply the technical data pack the permit application relies on.

The AGBI-350 runs on natural gas, hydrogen, diesel, LPG or biofuel through 3 burners. Being hydrogen-ready matters if you expect to decarbonise the site later: the unit does not need replacing when the fuel supply changes.

Thirty minutes from cold to operating temperature. From there it runs between 850°C and 1,200°C, with a 2.0-second gas retention time in the secondary chamber and a Coretex refractory lining. Control is through an IP6X-rated PLC panel.

Ash residue is 3–5% of input mass, so roughly 95% of what you load stops being a disposal cost. On a 350 kg charge that leaves about 14 kg of ash to remove — the only fraction still attracting gate fees and Landfill Tax.

Yes. Running an incinerator needs an environmental permit from the Environment Agency, SEPA or NIEA, and that applies to a farm burning its own arisings as much as to a commercial operator. Where the charge contains animal by-products — manure-contaminated bedding, fallen stock, fish mortalities — the plant also needs APHA approval under the retained ABP Regulation.

Because an open fire cannot hold 850°C for two seconds, and that condition is what destroys pathogens, spores and viable rhizome instead of lofting them over the boundary. Open burning of crop residue is separately restricted by regulation, and where a plant health notice requires destruction, it will normally be satisfied by a permitted incinerator and not by a field fire.

Size on the volume you have to clear per cycle, not on an hourly rate. These are batch units burning at under 50 kg/h, so a full charge is a complete cycle of roughly eight to eleven hours across the three models, which take 350, 450 and 500 kg per charge. Divide your standing volume by the capacity to get the number of charges, and allow a day per charge.
