+The first step in the construction of the incinerator is the fabrication of the metal parts, these include:
+
+**Ash tray** is composed of a box made of 3 mm-thick metal plates, welded together with a removable grid, build from two angular profiles on the sides. They are connected with a 10 mm armament bar creating a grid on which the unburned waste lays (see Figure 1 for exact dimensions and Figure 2 for construction details).
+
+**Loading door and its frame** allow for an easy access to the primary combustion chamber. The loading door is composed of a 3 mm steel plate with angular profiles on the sides. The door is connected to the frame with a hinge and a M 10 threaded bar. The frame has a U-shaped cross-section to seal the movable parts with sand placed in the U-shaped channel.
+
+**Cover of the secondary combustion chamber and its frame** allow to close the secondary combustion chamber with a steel plate that is free to dilatate without avoiding leaking of gas and breaking the incinerator's concrete walls.
+
+**Cyclone separator** was built from a 200 l empty oil drum, cut by hand with shears, a hammer, and a chisel. The barrel has to be opened to create three pieces: the central, cylindrical body, the lower cone, and the inlet tube. The parts needs to be welded together and attached to the chimney and the support plate (see Figure 3 for exact measurements).

 The construction of the incinerator is part of a broader project conducted by Global Health Engineering, an ETH research group, which aims to introduce regular waste collection in the township of Cape Maclear, Malawi, ensuring safe waste disposal and minimizing environmental contamination. This incinerator reduces waste volume and  makes hazardous waste harmless, emphasizing cost-effectiveness.
