Abstract: A solid waste incinerator apparatus has an elongated hearth having a plurality of walls and a floor and an elongated open side having a track mounted to each side of the open hearth. The hearth has a grate mounted above the floor thereof. A burner car has a plurality of motorized wheels riding in the elongated track for moving the burner car over the open side of the hearth. The burner car has a plurality of burners mounted thereon having a flame directed into the hearth to incinerate solid refuse in the hearth. The burner car also has a solid refuse agitation system thereon having at least one drum with cutting discs mounted therein to agitate the trash prior to incineration with the burners. A plurality of plenums are connected to one side of the hearth beneath the grate for drawing heated gases and burned ash therethrough. Each plenum forms a zone in the hearth for the removal of heated gases and ash from the zone within the elongated hearth as the burner car incinerates the refuse in that zone.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for renewing the surface of asphaltic paving at low cost and for immediate reuse. The asphalt surface is heated to about 300.degree.-500.degree. F. The surface is broken to a depth of about two inches and the lower material thoroughly mixed in situ with the broken surface material. After mixing, the material is further heated to fuse the heated mixture into a homogeneous surface. The surface is screeded for leveling and compacted by a road roller. A road machine is disclosed having a steam manifold for heating the asphalt, transversely reciprocating breaker bars having teeth adjusted to the depth desired, toothed mixing cylinders for mixing the broken material, and a second steam manifold for reheating the mixed material. Reciprocating screed bars on the road machine level the mixed and heated material. Final compacting may be done with a conventional road roller.
