De Montfort Incinerators - An Alternative
This article is tasked with not only explaining the difference between the two incinerators but breaking down the pros and cons of each and understanding where the De Montfort incinerator came from and why they are now commonly being replaced by our newer i8 machines.

Upgrading your medical waste capabilities is an essential step in removing harmful contaminments from the local environment.
Small capacity medical incinerators
Through our near 20 year history, we have designed and produced a multitude of machines for a wide range of sectors, each has been carefully designed to deliver outstanding results for their respective markets. When we replace an older medical incinerator with our new technology we sometimes notice our products are replacing a De Montfort style Incinerator, especially in developing countries.
“With improvements in hygiene and sanitation come higher expectations for effective medical waste management”
Below we will not only be explaining the difference between the two incinerators but breaking down the pros and cons of each and understanding where the De Montfort incinerator came from and why they are now commonly being replaced by our newer i8 machines.
What is a De Montfort style incinerator?
The De Montfort style incinerator was designed by Professor D.J. Picken a De Montfort professor in 1996. He designed the incinerator to not only be an effective solution for waste management but for it to be built out of materials that were somewhat easy to access and didn’t have a huge financial cost implication.
“It is estimated that there are over 1200 De Montfort Incinerators in operation throughout Africa and Asia with potentially many more scattered across South America and small island communities throughout the pacific.”
Both incinerators are designed to destroy and reduce a wide range of waste types from medical, plastics, organic matter and even hazardous waste types. This helps the local communities stay safe and reduce and potential outbreaks of disease. Although De Montfort incinerators serve a great purpose and help communities with dealing with waste they fall considerably short in their ability to deal with the emissions and safety aspects a new incinerator provides as well as the overall burn rates a new machine can achieve.
Incinerator Features - What are your options?
Modern Medical Incinerators
Our Incinerators are designed from the ground up to excel in thermal combustion and emissions reduction. Using state of the art technology and modern materials our machines can considerably reduce emissions and improve burns times saving you time, money and crucially minimising potential hazardous gases and odours getting into the atmosphere.
What’s more our incinerators excel within the operational process. All our solutions are designed with the end-user in mind and that is one of the distinct differences when it comes to the day-to-day operation of our machine vs a De Montfort. We use advanced control panels to monitor fan speed and burners, as well as to automate pre-heat, burn and cool-down cycles meaning you get a consistent burn every time that can be monitored throughout the whole process.
The alternative to De Montfort Medical Incinerators
As you can see, the two incinerators offer very different options and usability benefits. The De Montfort offers a cheap way into the incineration world with some improvements on open burning, whilst our i8 range offers state of the art technology to allow the best thermal combustion performance currently available. There will of course be situations where the De Montfort is the only realistic option from a financial standpoint but they are a short term fix.
Our machines offer long term solutions that businesses and communities look for when wanting to improve their local environment and air quality.
We believe and stand by our products knowing they will deliver clean, reliable, and safer results in a quicker time period than any De Montfort incinerator. If you would like to learn more about our Incinerators review the Medical Incinerators range.
