conveyor 5 is the same width as the combustion chamber 7 the conveyor 5 introduces the snow and ice into the combustion chamber 7 gradually fig1 and it has variable speeds the conveyor is driven by a gear system 8 fig1 the gear system is installed at one end of the conveyor 5 and is powered by a suitable type of motor the combustion chamber 7 being adjacent to the container 1 contains the burners 9 fig1 and 2 which produce a hot and naked flame under which snow and ice transported by the conveyor 5 melt the entire floor of the combustion chamber 7 has holes for an equivalent of fifty per cent 50 of its surface which encourage the evacuation of water produced by melting snow into a recovery basin 10 fig1 and 6 on the floor of of the combustion chamber 7 passes the conveyor 5 the burners 9 are disposed on a suitable support which is attached to all of the vertical sides of the combustion chamber 7 above the floor so as to provide a flame on the entire surface of the combustion chamber 7 the burners 9 are fueled by a hydrocarbon fuel and their position and or setting is adjustable the intensity of the heat generated by the burners 9 is controlled according to the type of snow and or ice to be treated and the speed of the conveyor 5 a cloth composed of heat reflective strips or other material is disposed vertically in the center of container 1 in order to retain the.
