Counter current incineration unit

In an incinerator unit, an incineration chamber supported between first and second stationary end chambers, said incineration chamber having a main portion and a neck portion, said neck portion communicating with first end chamber to form an inlet opening into said incineration chamber, feed means for delivering waste material into said incineration chamber extending through said first end chamber to a first end of said incineration chamber;

• said incineration chamber being mounted for rotation for imparting tumbling movement to waste material fed into said incineration chamber, a burner for directing flame into said incineration chamber mounted on said second end chamber and fixed in position at a second end of said incineration chamber;
• said second end chamber providing a discharge receptacle into which incinerated material will discharge from said second end of said incineration chamber, and a grate means mounted over said discharge receptacle of said second end chamber, and at least one member connected to and extending outward from said incineration chamber for rotation therewith and being engageable with waste materials collected on said grate means to thereby break up and assist in the separation of waste material, whereby said incineration unit enables said waste material fed into said incineration chamber at first end thereof to be dried by flow of gas from said second end as said waste material progresses toward said second end.
