PELLET: an ECOLOGICAL system for RENEWABLE energy
Pellets are extracted from unrefined wood dust and woodworking residuals. With special machines, the wood dust has been pressed without chemical additives, to become little cylinders with few millimeters diameters, called pellets, a compact fuel with high heating power.
At the end, this energy is alternative to gas oil and electricity, and it offers high performances, very low pollution and they are renewable.
What are wood pellets?
Pellets are little cylinders produced with unrefined wood working residuals (burr, dust, etc.), with variable length from 5 to 40 millimeters and diameters from 4 to10 millimeters.
They are high pressed so they can preserve the shape and they can be easily transport using tank trucks. Their heating power is about 4,9 kWh/kg: the energetic value of 1 kg of pellets is equal to half a liter of heating gas oil, or 1/2 m³ of methane.
To avoid stove stops, use only high quality pellets
Quality is very important for pellets, too. We suggest to use only DIN certified pellets, or Ö-Norm certified from Germany, or DINPlus standard conformed, introduce in 2002 in Austria and Germany, to guarantee the higher quality.
