“Bennis” Stokers in the boilerhouse of a famous
Docks in South Wales It will be noticed that these
machines are. fed by “Bennis” independent bucket
elevators. The elevators are strong, simple, efficient
and inexpensive.

When Machine Stoking Pays.



The stoking machine that an up-to-date colliery requires is the “ Bennis ”
Sprinkler Stoker, fed by means of “ Bennis ” coal-handling plant. This mechanical
stoker is installed under guarantees of economy and efficiency, which render it a
paying investment. It rapidly pays for itself by increasing boiler duty, and burning
effectually low-grade, low-price fuels. It burns them so well that it abolishes smoke.



Where “ Bennis ” machines are fed by “ Bennis ” elevators or conveyors, labour
costs are ineyitably reduced to a minimum. In times of pressure, when the demand
for steam is suddenly increased, the ease with which the “Bennis” Sprinkler
Stoker responds, ensures it a leading position where flexibility is an acknowledged
desideratum.

“ Bennis ” plant is particularly applicable to steam collieries, and “ Bennis ” self-cleaning furnaces are so arranged as to
afford the advantages of hand-firing without its disadvantages.

For full particulars of the “ Bennis ” Hand-fired Furnaces for use in steam collieries, write for “ Cheap Steam from Pit
Waste ” pamphlets to Ed. Bennis & Co. Ltd., Little Hulton, Bolton, or 28, Victoria Street, London, S.W.
