<p>An apparatus for processing material such as organically coated waste and organic materials including biomass, industrial waste, municipal solid waste and sludge is provided. The apparatus comprises an oven 10 having a rotatable portion comprising a treatment chamber 12 adapted to receive material for treatment. A plurality of gas inlets (36, fig.3) are provided in at least one wall of the treatment chamber through which hot gasses are introduced to the treatment chamber to heat the material therein so as to cause the organic components thereof to pyrolyse or gassify. At least one retarder means 26 is located in the treatment chamber to retard the movement of waste material therein as the oven rotates. Preferably, the retarder means each comprise a number of inverted hooks (30, fig.3) arranged in a radial array about a common central axis with the ends of the hooks spaced from the common central axis. The retarder means may be moved between an active position, in which they protrude into the treatment chamber by a greater distance, and an inactive position, in which they protrude into the treatment chamber by a lesser distance.</p> |
