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 a rotatable and tillable furnace (1) having a body portion (15), a single material entry point (11) and a tapered portion (13) between said entry point and said body portion of the furnace. The furnace further includes means (25) for rotating the furnace (1) about its longitudinal axis and means (32, 102) for tilting the furnace. The furnace has a closure movable between an open position in which material can be introduced to the furnace (1) and a closed position in which the interior of the furnace is isolated from the external environment. A means at or adjacent said entry point (11) for directs gases in a direction inwardly of said furnace so as to provide a barrier of gas adjacent said opening to inhibit the entrance of oxygen containing atmospheric gas when said closure is in its open position.
