Sheep Incinerators

Which Incinerator should I use?
We have three incinerators that are ideal for sheep farmers:

Volkan 150 Sheep Incinerator - suitable capacity sheep breeds of a medium size, capacity for one sheep. (<150kg)
Volkan 200 Sheep Incinerator - shown below, suitable for all sheep breeds. Large enough for 1 large sheep or two medium sized sheep (<250kg)
Volkan 400 Sheep Incinerator - suitable for all sheep breeds, with capacity for 2-4 sheep depending on size. (<400kg)

Please click on one of the above for more information on each sheep incinerator. All of our models are DEFRA-type approved, low-capacity animal incinerators. This means that you are legally allowed to use them on your own farm for carcass disposal, and that no planning permission is typically required.

Why should I choose an incinerator, rather than having my sheep collected?
The average cost of incinerating a sheep with a Waste Spectrum Incinerator is only £3-4 (based on current diesel and gas prices). The average cost of having that same sheep collected is estimated to be around £15. If this is the case for you, you could be saving up to £12 a sheep! The up-shot of this is that if you have 800+ sheep, there is a good chance purchasing an incinerator will save you a sizeable amount of money. If you have more sheep, or pay more for collection than £15, then this will save you even more money! Not convinced? Then why not tell us your requirements and we'll estimate what you can save. 

Beyond the financial benefits incineration also offers:

1. Bio-security - no carcasses are brought onto your farm, no carcasses leave your farm.  Incineration is a pure and simple way to protect yourself against contamination from another farm.
2. Reliability - our incinerators typically last 12-15 years, and we have a dedicated service team on call should you experience any problems. No more waiting for collection.
3. Protect against future costs - when carcasses are collected, you pay for them to be transported and incinerated, so when fuel costs rise, you pay twice for the increase. Incinerators cut out this unnecessary cost, which helps to protect the environment, and your coffers.
