AIS animal incinerators are heavy-duty, hand-built thermal disposal units engineered for the realities of daily on-farm operation. Every Cyclone model meets UK DEFRA Animal By-Products (ABP) standards, EU 1069/2009, and the equivalent regulations enforced across our export markets.
Whether you operate a single broiler shed, a high-throughput pig unit or a 5,000-head dairy, our incinerator range delivers bio-secure carcass disposal with predictable fuel burn, low maintenance and a working life measured in decades — not seasons.
DEFRA-compliant on-farm incineration
On-farm incineration is the fastest, most bio-secure route for handling fallen stock and farm mortalities. Every AIS Cyclone is approved under DEFRA's Animal By-Products controls and is engineered to maintain the secondary chamber at 850°C with a 2-second residence time — the regulatory minimum for Category 1 and Category 2 material.
Our control panels are PLC-driven, fully audit-logged, and supplied with the documentation farms and processors need for inspections, ABBA category records and APHA reporting.
- ABP Category 1 & 2 capable
- 850°C / 2-second secondary residence
- Twin-burner, temperature-controlled combustion
- PLC controls with USB data logging
- Monolithic refractory lining
- Loadable during operation (mid/large frames)
Choose by species and daily volume
Poultry & small livestock
AIS 09, 025 and 026 Cyclones suit broiler farms, layer units and lamb operations with daily mortality up to ~250 kg. Top-loading lids and rapid cycle times keep disposal in step with daily routines.
Swine units
AIS 040, 041 and 055 Cyclones are designed for the continuous duty of a busy pig unit. Loadable-while-running operation means routine and emergency disposal stays bio-secure without disrupting the day.
Cattle & dairy
AIS 0132, 1250, 1870 and 2650 Cyclones handle full adult cattle. Reinforced load chambers, heavy refractory and industrial PLCs are engineered for high-volume sites and disease-control response.
Industrial & disease control
The flagship AIS 3860 Cyclone delivers up to 950 kg/hr — sized for agribusiness, government veterinary contracts and rapid emergency response to notifiable disease outbreaks.
Built to last — engineered to outlast
Every Cyclone is hand-fabricated in our UK and US workshops from heavy-gauge steel, then lined with a monolithic refractory cast that resists thermal shock for far longer than brick-built alternatives. The result is an incinerator that runs daily for 15–25 years with routine servicing.
All models ship with a 3-year warranty, accessible service points and globally-stocked spares — including burners, thermocouples and refractory components.

Frequently asked questions
Are AIS animal incinerators DEFRA-compliant?+
Yes. Every Cyclone model is engineered and tested to meet UK DEFRA Animal By-Products (ABP) regulations, EU 1069/2009 and equivalent international standards for on-farm Category 1 and Category 2 disposal.
What animals can be incinerated?+
AIS incinerators handle poultry, swine, cattle, sheep, equine and mixed agricultural waste. Capacities range from 110 kg to 3,750 kg per load.
How long does on-farm cremation take?+
Typical cycle times range from 4 hours for small flocks to 12 hours for large cattle loads, depending on model and feedstock moisture.
What fuel do animal incinerators use?+
AIS Cyclone models run on diesel, LPG, or natural gas. Heat-exchange options reduce running costs further.
