Daily Maintenance
Example of Schedule for dropping Clinkers and Ash from burn pot:
This may be
required more than once a day, depending on the burn rate of the Furnace
and the quality
of Corn, wheat or rye or pellets used.
Check the furnace frequently at first to establish
a Schedule for cleaning the burnpot. If Clinker/Ash is not removed, the burnpot will
overload and fuel will spill into the Ashpan.
1 - Continuous burning of the furnace on the Low burn setting (Pilot) – Approximately
every 30 hours for corn, wheat, rye & distiller’s grain and every 20 hours for pellets &
Cherry Pits. This may vary depending on the quality of fuel used.
2 - Continuous burning of the furnace at the High burn setting (#5) –
Approximately
every 15 hours
for corn, wheat, rye & distiller’s grain and every 20 hours for pellets &
Cherry Pits. This may vary depending on the quality of fuel used.
The daily maintenance will mainly focus on 4 areas in the Furnace; removing the clinkers
from the ash pan (if needed), dropping the clinker from the burnpot, cleaning the heat
exchange tubes and cleaning the glass. A break down of this process consists of these
steps:

Figure 17 above shows the position of the rods while the furnace is in normal operation. If
problems occur while burning, first check to see if the rods are as shown in figure 17.
