Loading is the hardest and slowest part of running an animal incinerator. On high-volume farms and processing sites, operators may handle large and heavy carcasses every day. An automatic loading incinerator takes that work off the operator.
AIS supplies automatic loading as a complete system: an AIS Cyclone incinerator and a dedicated loading system specified together, rather than an incinerator with a loose accessory bolted on afterwards.
Automatic Loading Incinerators
An automatic loading incinerator lifts animal carcasses and animal waste and feeds them into the main chamber mechanically. It replaces manual lifting and reduces reliance on tractor buckets or skid loaders at the chamber opening.
For large farms, poultry units and processors, this makes daily disposal faster, more consistent and safer for the people doing it.
Automatic Animal Carcass Incineration
Every automatic loading system is paired with an AIS Cyclone animal carcass incinerator: a purpose-designed agricultural incinerator with a temperature-controlled secondary chamber and PLC or touch-screen controls with automatic burner shut-off.
The result is a single animal waste incineration process — loading, burning and ash removal — designed around the way your site actually works.
Hydraulic Loading Systems
The AIS loading system uses hydraulic power to raise waste to the chamber and tip it in, so the operator controls the load rather than carrying it. Hydraulic loading is well suited to the weight and volume found on livestock and high-capacity sites.
Detailed loader specifications — lift capacity, bin size and cycle time — are confirmed for each project. Ask our team for the configuration that suits your chosen Cyclone.

Safer Handling of Large Animal Carcasses
- Reduced manual handling of heavy carcasses
- Less time spent working beside an open chamber
- Controlled, repeatable loading for every cycle
- Easier handling of cattle, sows and other large animals
- Fewer vehicle movements at the incinerator
Applications
Automatic loading incinerators suit operations with regular, high volumes of animal waste:
- Livestock and cattle farms
- Pig units — growers, finishers and sows
- Poultry farms and hatcheries
- Abattoirs, slaughterhouses and meat processors
- Veterinary and disease-control operations
- Large agricultural and agribusiness sites
High-Capacity Automatic Loading Incinerators
Automatic loading is offered on the largest models in the AIS Cyclone range. These high capacity incinerators have ash doors as standard, so ash can be removed while the machine is in operation and loading can continue.
AIS 1250 Cyclone
Loading capacity 1,290 kg / 2,844 lbs; burn rate up to 300 kg/hr.
AIS 1870 Cyclone
Loading capacity 1,900 kg / 4,190 lbs; burn rate up to 500 kg/hr.
AIS 2650 Cyclone
Loading capacity 2,590 kg / 5,711 lbs; burn rate up to 700 kg/hr.
AIS 3860 Cyclone
Loading capacity 3,750 kg / 8,269 lbs — the largest Cyclone in the range.
How the Automatic Loading System Works
- 1. Waste or carcasses are placed into the loader at ground level.
- 2. The operator starts the loading cycle from a safe position.
- 3. The hydraulic system lifts the load to the chamber opening.
- 4. The load is tipped into the main chamber of the Cyclone.
- 5. The loader returns to ground level, ready for the next load.

Frequently asked questions
What is an automatic loading incinerator?+
An automatic loading incinerator combines the incinerator with a powered loading system, so carcasses and animal waste are lifted and fed into the main chamber mechanically instead of by hand, tractor bucket or skid loader.
Is the loader an add-on or part of the system?+
AIS specifies the loading system and the AIS Cyclone together as one integrated solution, so the loader, chamber opening and controls are matched from the outset.
Which AIS Cyclone models are available with automatic loading?+
Automatic loading is available on the large AIS Cyclone models: the AIS 1250, AIS 1870, AIS 2650 and AIS 3860 Cyclones.
Why choose hydraulic loading for large carcasses?+
Cattle, sows and other heavy carcasses are difficult and unsafe to lift manually. A hydraulic loading system takes the weight, reducing manual handling and the time operators spend next to an open chamber.
Which operations suit an automatic loading incinerator?+
Sites with regular, high-volume mortality or animal by-product waste — large pig and cattle farms, poultry units, hatcheries, abattoirs, meat processors and disease-control operations.
How do I choose the right automatic loading system?+
Speak to an AIS incinerator specialist with your species, daily mortality or waste volume, and site layout. We will recommend the Cyclone model and loading configuration that fits your operation.
