Human Body Cremator
Human Body Cremators
Since ages Hindu community practice wood burning for ‘Agni sanskar’ of dead bodies. In ancient times wood was abundantly available and so the manpower for cutting and managing the chitas at crematoria.
The concept and awareness about pollution, at that time, was not as known as it is today.
The time has changed now. Wood is a scare commodity today and people have no time to cut the trees and use it as a fuel. The cost of wood burning for body cremation is nowhere comparable with other alternative sources now available.
NORTHEAST MACHINES have developed a unique design of a furnace for human body cremation with gas or diesel as fuel. It has striking advantages against ancient wood fired cremation, to list a few as under:
- Saving of precious wood helping to maintain clean environment.
- Easy and Fast process.
- Smoke and odour free surrounding area.
- Comfortable to install in a dense locality.
- No inventory and huge stocks of wood to be maintained.
- Economical and Eco friendly.
- Safe cremation of virus infected bodies like COVID.
Process in Brief
Gas (LPG/Natural gas) fired cremation machine is comprised of an insulated chamber with number of burners. The chamber is divided into two parts viz. Primary and secondary chamber. Each chamber has it’s own burners and temperature controls. Chambers are closed by a manually operated vertical sliding door. A chimney is mounted at the back of the chamber over a chimney box. A trolley with hydraulically operated scissor lift mechanism is mounted in front of the cremator chambers. This trolley can be moved In and Out of Primary Chamber on rails. It can also have Up and Down movement through a hydraulic jack.
The dead body is placed over the charge trolley on supporting bars. It is then moved inside the Primary chamber and the body is placed inside the primary chamber with bars supported on side walls. The trolley is then lowered down and pulled back out of primary chamber manually. Door is closed by lowering the same with chain and s[rocket mechanism.
The burners in primary and secondary chambers are fired. Temperature rise is indicated on respective digital temperature controllers mounted on panel. Temperature in primary chamber reaches to around 7500C.
Smoke, due to combustion is passed from primary chamber to secondary chamber where it is further heated to about 9000C and made to travel through a ‘tortuous path’ where it loses it’s foul smell and flying ashes. Thus, the ‘eco-friendly’ exhaust gases come out of chimney.
