The working routine includes more than lighting a burner. Collecting and loading material, supervising the cycle, allowing the required completion and removing ash all affect staff time. Review the model specification and the supplied operating instructions before planning the routine for your farm.
1. Loading the main chamber
Compare the load weight, door opening and load height with the material to be handled. Existing model pages describe different loading arrangements, while larger Cyclones can be supplied with integrated hydraulic loading. Do not assume one model’s loading method applies across the range.
2. Primary combustion
The main chamber receives the animal material for thermal processing. AIS describes monolithic refractory lining and burner packages selected for the model and fuel. Load characteristics, moisture and operating conditions affect combustion and fuel consumption, so chamber capacity is not the same thing as hourly throughput.
3. Secondary combustion and temperature
Agricultural AIS Cyclones incorporate an integral secondary chamber described on this site as designed to maintain at least 850°C for a minimum two-second residence time. Existing fuel-efficiency guidance describes PLC-managed secondary burner control maintaining the required temperature rather than firing continuously. These figures describe secondary combustion, not a universal primary-chamber setpoint.
4. Controls and cycle records
Existing AIS descriptions explain that PLC controls manage temperature and record the cycle for operating and inspection records. Compare the control specification on the chosen model and retain the supplied documentation. The published burn-rate estimate does not by itself give the full cycle duration for a particular load.
5. Completion and ash handling
The existing operating guidance places ash removal after the cycle, with handling and cleaning included in the working routine. Plan an appropriate ash-disposal route alongside operation and servicing; ash quantity varies with the material and is not specified here for your load. Follow the instructions supplied for the equipment rather than treating this overview as an operating manual.

Frequently asked questions
What happens in the primary chamber?+
Animal material is loaded into the main chamber for thermal disposal. The selected model’s opening, load capacity and handling arrangement determine how it is loaded.
Why is there a secondary chamber?+
AIS describes an integral secondary chamber on agricultural Cyclones for controlled secondary combustion, with temperature managed by the controls.
What temperature does AIS describe?+
Existing agricultural model and category pages describe the secondary chamber as designed to maintain at least 850°C for a minimum two-second residence time. This is not a quoted primary-chamber temperature.
Can every Cyclone be loaded while operating?+
Loading during operation is model-specific. Check the selected model page rather than assuming every chamber or loading arrangement allows it.
How much ash will my load produce?+
Ash quantity depends on the load. AIS describes ash removal after the completed cycle; follow the supplied operating guidance and the approved disposal route.
