Kapa - Biomass Hot Air Generators
Biomass hot air generators, for any professional use with intelligent management of their operation to achieve maximum levels of efficiency with minimum consumption and emissions, contributing to environmental protection since they not only reduce CO2 but can use agricultural residues or manure or chicken droppings as fuel.
The most economical way to heat structures or greenhouses, for livestock, poultry or agricultural crops
The mobile grate, also known as a stepped grate or inclined grate, represents the most versatile system in terms of flexibility and capability to handle various types of fuel. This innovative system involves delivering fuel onto a series of moving refractory panels sequentially along the grate, allowing the fuel to travel slowly and mix along the path towards the end of the combustion chamber. During this process, the fuel dries and burns, with primary air supplied from within the grate itself. The patented technology ensures uniform air distribution along the entire grate, while the constant movement pushes residues towards the next step, keeping the grate surface clean and preventing buildup. This system further promotes fuel enrichment with air, enhancing combustion efficiency.
The combustion sequence offered by the mobile grate allows for burning a wide range of fuels with varying moisture levels. By adjusting the grate speed, fuel feed, and air intake, optimal performance can be achieved even with materials with high moisture content, up to 30-35%. Moreover, the use of refractory material reflects heat, facilitating the drying and ignition of the fuel, thus enabling efficient combustion even of moist materials. Once the fuel is consumed, residual ashes are mechanically collected and removed through a dedicated screw conveyor in the ash container.
- Wide selection of fuel types, with moisture content up to 30-35% and various sizes or granulometry.
- The wide choice of fuel contributes to the use of the most economical option, offsetting related energy costs.
- The movement of the fuel grate prevents ash solidification and potential blockages.
- Well-regulated combustion flows.
ERCOLE developed by KAPA ENGINEERING for the agricultural and industrial sector, which allows the production of thermal energy for a wide range of applications based on renewable energy sources and agricultural residual products and various wastes. The fuels are fed via robust systems to the highly efficient moving grate. The combustion gases from the combustion process are fed in a controlled manner into a hot air generator (flue gas/air heat exchanger) or directly into other applications (e.g. dryers). The stable and e?cient operation of ERCOLE is guaranteed by a series of continuous measuring devices and reliable combustion control.
The burners and fuel systems installed by us successfully provide energy for many years and confirm the quality of our services. ERCOLE technology combines proven combustion systems with modern and sophisticated technology to guarantee maximum flexibility and reliability to our customers.
