Dust-free ash removal from your boiler house
Ash from wood chip, pellet or husk boilers is fine, alkaline and often wet. In an open trailer it blows away, wet ash leaks from an ordinary body on the road, and its alkalinity (pH 12–13) attacks steel. BARKAS ASH is closed with a steel lid: ash drops straight from the conveyor through the hatch, stays inside on the road and tips out to the rear in one lift.
Why BARKAS ASH
- Conveyor loading. Park the trailer under the ash discharge point: ash falls into the body through the hatch, with no loader or shovels.
- No dust, no leaks. A steel lid and a sealed tailgate hold both dry and wet ash.
- Corrosion protection. The body is protected against alkaline ash.
- 6 t or 11.5 m³ per trip. Up to 6 m³ of heavy bottom ash, or the full body of light fly ash.
- Two trailers in one. Take the lid off and you have a standard tipper for wood chips, grain and bulk loads.
- European running gear. ADR System axle and hubs (Italy), Pronar wheels (Poland): spare parts are easy to source across the EU.
How the ash trailer works
- A tractor parks the trailer under the ash conveyor. Loading height: 2.74 m.
- Ash falls into the body through the roof hatch until the trailer is full.
- The tractor hauls the closed trailer to the storage area, landfill or field.
- The body tips to the rear at 45° in 20 seconds, and the ash empties through the tailgate.
Tip: with two trailers, ash removal never stops — one stays under the conveyor while the other is on the road.
Who it is for
- Biomass boiler houses firing wood chips, pellets or sunflower husk — municipal and industrial.
- District heating plants and biomass CHPs.
- Oil mills, grain elevators and dryers with husk- or straw-fired boilers.
- Sawmills and wood processors burning bark and wood waste.
- Farms that collect boiler ash as fertiliser.
- EPC contractors building turnkey boiler houses.
Lid off — a versatile tipper
The lid is removable. Without it, BARKAS ASH is a tipping trailer with extension sides for wood chips, grain and other bulk loads, so it never stands idle when there is little ash. Standard version:
