Biomass ejector buckets

[Doing it for the kids]

Other than Cherry and Murray does anyone know of any others out there who make these?

needs to go on JCB loader and hold about 1.75m3

oooh, you must be one of the two that have had one made for you! did it stick when you first bought it, how much can it hold, can you recall what you paid for it (PM if you prefer, I can ring you)

thanks

@blue power and @Doing it for the kids how are the buckets lasting as thinking of going down the batch boiler road and do the boilers stand the odd bump by inexperienced users
And would there be anything you would change be it with boilers set up or buckets design

 

[Doing it for the kids]

All good here, my only gripe is it isn’t quick at recalling, have to leave it cranked up for a minute in float.

Hard to damage boiler, one you have the end in the chamber I just boom out so it might scrape but not hit.

I asked them to add an angle on the brackets so I could tilit it right back.

What fuel are you using?

 

[Hard Graft]

we in the early stages but it be large wood rings and timber waste mostly

 

[Doing it for the kids]

Ok, what boiler?

These aren’t so good at scooping up big piles of logs, nothing is though. You may have to hand load them a bit.

 

[Still Farming]

Do you use same to clean ash out of those glen farrows

 

[blue power]

We made a bucket that fits inside the boiler with a raised section over the bottom air pipe

 

[Doing it for the kids]

Farm 2000 supply a curved bucket that’s fits perfectly

Or just remove air pipe

 

[Doing it for the kids]

Yeah definitely do that! Leaves an inch behind

Burning grade A here, goes well

We had trays made for our dragons.

Local engineering firm bent to the same contour as the boiler. Just pick them out with pallet times tip in bucket of fuel and put back in. Saves having to clean ash out very often as once a week just tip what is in the tray. I would have put a picture on but a bit hot at the moment.

It's a real challenge to load a decent amount of fuel into these beasts without too much effort. We designed a rotating bucket to overcome this problem. It can also be used to remove ash although we have a separate bucket to do this. We mainly burn shredded pallets and the woody fraction left over from composting. Around 1.3MW per load. 4-5 loadings per day.
The main drawback is that 2 forklifts are required. On the upside, they don't need to be new!

what size boilers are they - 195kw? how many m3 can yo fit in to one load do you think?

 

[Atomic SL]

Fitted with flue gas heat exchangers...490kw each.

The bucket holds approx 2m3 and had so far loaded the boilers in the region of 14,000 times.

 

[Doing it for the kids]

so 2m3 gives you about 1.3 MW. you must be getting through the heat if you are doing it 4-5 times a day.

I am getting about the same output / m3 on a 195 kwh system. It burns very well and is consistent. do you buy in your Grade A?

 

[Atomic SL]

Other than Chaff, OSR & Bean straw, we buy in all our fuel...BSL certified. Still have to do all the fuel chain carbon calcs for everything though which was a real chore to set up. 2 boilers on separate RHI accounts, hydraulically linked with different reporting dates,,,quite a challenge. All good now though.
