New Burner
Invented By
Local Man
Great Future For De
vice, Mill Men
Predict
. A force draft device for sawdust
and refuse burners, declared by
prominent miiitnen U oe the most
significant Improvement ever made,
ha been recently patented by A.
Kruso, owner and mnnager of the
KruBe Lumber company, sltuateO on
Hwnn Lake mountain.
Tho device require no grate bars
or drafts In the bottom, and the
burner need not be bnllt to such
heights a are necessary with the
suction draft, grato bar type of
burner.
nruse invention consists of a
heavy, iron water Jacket, which ex
tends to the exact center of the
furnace. Inside of this water Jac
ket Is the nozzle which deliver the
forced draft to tho burner. This
nozzle Is fed by a motor and blow
er outside of the burner some six
or eight feet, and nozzle, blower,
und motor aro mounted on a track,
so that the Intensity of the forced
draft may be regulated by the dis
tance of tho nozzle from the core
of tho heap of sawdust and refuse
In the burner. There Is consider
able space between the sliding noz
zle and the protecting waterjacket
which takes up the force of the
air draft when It is not needed.
The advantages of tnc Invention
aro that It enables a smaller and
less expensive type of burner to
handle unlimited amounts of green
Bawdust with greater facility than
tho costly open grate type. The
fire Is started in the center of the
pile, and kept burning by the force
of the draft until the heap of re
fuse crumbles in from the top.
Then the draft may be reduced, so
as not to force soot and sparks out
through tho top of the burner, as
the case with high, open grate
type of burner.

blowers have not prove! practical.
The simplicity and ease of operation
of tho blower aro strong points In
ii favor. Fire may be started In
tho burner by tossing a piece of
burning waste In frout of the noz
zle and turning on the motor. Tin.
(draft may be regulated by moving
the motor, blower, and nozzle back

triple service of protecting the noz
zle from melting In the extreme
heat, keeping off falling slabs, thus
leaving It free to move In and out,
and of reducing the Intensity of the
drart when the nozzle. Is moved
farther from the center of the
burner.
