Reduce time and cost.
Less labour. Lower lifetime cost.
Incineration is a one-step process: load, burn, remove ash. Composting and rendering involve weeks of management, multiple touch-points, and ongoing third-party costs. Over the working life of an AIS Cyclone, the labour difference is significant.
One-step waste handling
Loading is fast and ergonomic. Burning is automated. Ash removal is straightforward — and on machines fitted with the optional ash door, it can happen without stopping the cycle.
No collection contracts
On-site disposal can reduce reliance on collection contracts, but the financial case depends on your waste volume, collection charges, fuel and operating schedule. Compare the full ownership cost before assuming a saving or payback period.
Less manual handling
Compost windrows have to be turned, monitored and managed. Cyclones are loaded once, run on their own, and produce a stable ash that's easy to remove and dispose of.
Compare the complete ownership cost
Start with the equipment and installation cost, then include fuel, operator time, servicing, replacement parts and the authorised ash-disposal route. Compare these with the collection charges and storage arrangements you actually use. The result is site-specific: no single payback figure applies to a small holding, a busy pig unit and a commercial processor.
Measure the work, not just the fuel
Record how long staff spend moving and storing waste, arranging collections, loading the unit and cleaning the area. Incineration still needs trained operators and safe handling. A workable layout and suitable lifting method can be as important as chamber capacity. Include start-up, cooling and maintenance time when estimating the daily labour requirement.
Make the model fit your schedule
Use daily volume and available hours to assess throughput, then check the heaviest animal against loading capacity and chamber dimensions. A larger machine is not automatically a cheaper choice. Fuel availability, the waste mix and loading pattern influence operating costs. Ask AIS for a specification based on these details rather than extrapolating a guaranteed saving from a maximum burn rate.
