  • Patent number: 8757071
    Abstract: A skewer system comprises a skewer rod that holds tires in suspension during an incineration process where the tires are burned for fuel in a kiln such as a cement kiln or a lime kiln. In certain implementations, the skewer system also comprises a fuel advancing system to advance tires loaded onto the skewer rod into the heated gas in a stationary heat transfer station of the kiln. In further exemplary implementations, the skewer system comprises a mechanism to recover wire remnants from incinerated tires, the wire can be cut off the skewer and dropped into the kiln, or the wire itself can be burned off.
