PELLETS AND FEEDING

Pellets are made by applying high pressure to sawdust, or wood waste products (not containing paint) from sawmills, carpentry and other
activities related to processing and working with wood.
Given that it does not use any glue to hold it together this type of fuel is completely environmentally friendly. In fact the compactness of the
pellets over time is guaranteed by a natural substance found in the wood itself: wood coal. In addition to being an environmentally friendly
fuel in that it pushes wood residues to the limits pellets also have technical advantages.
While wood has a calori c value of 4.4kWh/kg. (with 15% humidity after around 18 months of seasoning) the calori c value of pellets is 5 kWh/
kg.
Pellet density is 650kg/m3 and the water content is equal to 8% of its weight. For this reason they do not require seasoning in order to arrive
at a su ciently adequate degree of heat yield.
The pellets used must comply with the characteristics described by
the following standards:
EN PLUS class A1, ISO 17225-2 class A1
and
UNI EN 303 5 with the following characteristics: water content ≤
12%, ash content ≤ 0.5% and lower calori c value >17 MJ/kg (in the
case of boilers).
The manufacturer always recommended using pellets with a diameter
of 6 mm with its products.

PELLET STORAGE

In order to ensure problem-free combustion pellets must be stored in
a dry place.
Open the tank lid and load the pellets using a scoop.
