Basics
- An Abbreviation for ROtatable Covered Cavity
- A Design for Systems that Produce Charcoal in a Semi-Batch Manner that bridges the gap between smaller Charcoal Kilns and LARGE Rotary Kiln based plants
- 1 Ton - 10 Tons Biomass In Per 10 Hour Workday as per the video
- Made from a Steel Drum or a large Corrugated Steel Pipe (depending on desired scale)
Potential Improvements/Aspects to Explore
- Integration with a Narrow Gauge Railroad and/or Conveyor Belt + Loading Dock for Dump Trailers etc
- Improvements in "rollability" for lack of a better word, either Rack+Pinion, or even just Ball Bearing based Rollers such as those ripped off a Drum Dolly or Hand Cart
- Insulation/Refractory Coating?
- Design for Lifting ; add a bracket for a Crane Shackle on there
- Could also integrate with an Overhead Crane this way
- An integrated trailer with the fuel in and fuel out ramps
- Motorization?
