Fire Grate / Moving Grate

Fire Grate / Moving Grate

A Fire Grate is a crucial component in combustion systems of boilers, biomass furnaces, and waste incinerators. It is designed to support solid fuels such as palm kernel shells, wood chips, coal, and biomass waste, ensuring efficient and consistent combustion.

Fire grates are available in fixed and moving types, enhancing the combustion process by promoting even fuel burning, reducing ash buildup, and optimizing energy output.

🔧 Fire Grate Features

• Supports a wide range of solid fuels
  Compatible with palm shells, sawdust, coal, wood chips, biomass waste, and other solid fuels.

• Promotes complete combustion
  Ensures uniform air distribution for maximum burning efficiency.

• Reduces ash and smoke
  Enhances combustion cleanliness, reducing pollution and boiler fouling.

• High-temperature resistant materials
  Constructed from cast iron or special alloy steel to withstand extreme heat.

• Available in fixed and moving configurations

  • Fixed Grate: Ideal for smaller furnaces with uniform fuel types.

  • Moving Grate: Automatically moves fuel, suitable for mixed and continuous fuel input.

🔍 Types of Fire Grate Systems

• Fixed Grate
  A stationary grate suitable for simple combustion systems with consistent fuel size and volume.

• Moving Grate
  Automatically advances fuel to ensure thorough combustion, ideal for dynamic fuel input.

• Reciprocating Grate
  Uses pistons to push fuel forward, allowing deeper and more uniform burning; common in large-scale boilers and waste incinerators.

• Vibrating Grate
  Applies vibration to spread fuel and shake ash off, preventing buildup and maintaining efficient operation.

🏭 Fire Grate Applications

• Power Plant Boilers – Efficiently burn biomass fuels such as palm shells, wood chips, and sawdust.

• Palm Oil Mills – Incinerate biomass residues and palm kernel shells from extraction processes.

• Pulp & Paper Industry – Burn wood residues and process waste for steam generation.

• Chemical Industry – Applied in industrial furnaces for petrochemical production.

• Food Processing Plants – Provide steam for various production processes.

• Waste-to-Energy Plants – Convert waste into electricity using combustion grates.
