Tire Fuel Equipment
AFS Technology can provide all the equipment required to assure the success of each project including:
- AFS Standard Equipment
- Custom Designed Equipment
- OEM Equipment
In addition, AFS provides the electrical equipment required to operate all the mechanical equipment as an automatic system.
AFS alternative fuel systems include all equipment required for a complete system from the truck or loader delivering the fuel to the valves and burners used to introduce the fuel to the kiln, boiler or furnace.
Tire Weigh Feeder
Tire Weigh Feeder AFS Tire Weigh Feeder, for Whole Tire Derived Fuel, control the feed rate using the weight of each tire to determine tire injection intervals. These Weigh Feeders have the following special features to provide years of reliable service with little maintenance: Belt Driven Live Roller (BDLR) Conveyor Platform ...
Test Burn Bins
Test Burn Bins Originally designed to be used during the testing of Whole Tire Derived Fuel in preheater or precalciner towers, a Test Burn Bin is an affordable means to get tires up the tower and to the Fuel Injection Device without the expense of purchasing and installing a temporary conveyor system of elevator. Test Burn Bin ...
Conveyors
Conveyors AFS selects the types of conveyors for each project to provide the most flexible and reliable material handling systems for each particular application. AFS has developed the new standard for live Roller Conveyors and regularly uses Belt Conveyors for Whole Tire systems. Belt Conveyors can also be used for ...

Feed Rate Control AFS weigh feeders provide precise feed rate control for both Whole Tire Derived Fuel and Bulk Fuel to assure controlled combustion of alternative fuels ...
Tire Separation
Tire Separation AFS has Whole Tire Separation equipment to automatically perform the following functions: Separate bulk whole tires into a supply of single (one at time) tires Remove debris from whole tires Inspect tires for conformity with minimum and maximum size specifications Reject non conforming (size) tires Detect and reject ...
Live Bottom Hoppers
Live Bottom Hopper The Live Bottom Hopper allows for receiving, storage, and recovery of numerous bulk materials including Whole Tires, TDF, Wood Chips, Wood Fuel, Mulch, Compost, RDF, Grains and Crop Residues, other Biomass and bulk materials. The Live Bottom Hopper is often situated to discharge to a device that provides ...
Trailer Tippers
Trailer Tippers Our trailer tippers allow for automatic unloading of numerous bulk materials including Whole Tires, TDF, Wood Chips, Wood Fuel, Mulch, Compost, RDF, Grains and Crop Residues, other Biomass and bulk materials. The trailer tipper is often situated to dump the materials directly into a Live Bottom Hopper. Standard Specifications: 80,000 pound ...
Mid-Kiln Valves
Mid-Kiln Valves Our Mid Kiln Valves are designed to introduce Whole Tires or Bulk Fuel ~ midway along the length of a rotating kiln. At this point, temperatures are high enough and residence times long enough to ensure complete combustion of the fuel. Fuel injection occurs once every kiln rotation. AFS standard Mid-Kiln Valves ...
Suspension Burners
Suspension Burners Why choose our patented tire suspension burner systems? Typically, the maximum fuel substitution rate for whole tires fed to the low oxygen backend of a precalciner kiln has been less than 5%. Above this rate localized reducing conditions will likely cause significant sulfur build-up in the kiln riser ...
Double Gate Airlock Valves
Double Gate Airlock Valves AFS standard airlock valves are designed to introduce whole tire fuel into a combustion chamber that has a slight negative pressure. The airlock valve has two gates which create an airlock as the tires enter the chute and drop onto the feed shelf of the kiln ...
