Why is it important to use good quality pellets?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n

In this article, we at Schneider Pellets<\/span><\/a> will give an accurate explanation of how and why the quality of one of today’s most advanced heating methods is so important. You can find pellets in many places, but you need to know which are the real quality pellets.<\/p>\r\n

It is a type of solid fuel in the form of cylindrical<\/span> pellets that are produced from wood waste. Pellet heating has some advantages<\/strong> such as the small combustion waste product and the automatic fuel supply to the burner.<\/p>\r\n

Stages of production of good quality pellets<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In order to reach the final product, the pellets must first go through several stages<\/strong> of processing. Initially<\/strong> the wood is ground into large pieces and left to dry. The reason for the coarse shredding is the less time it then takes for the material to dry;<\/p>\n

Two types of mills are used for this grinding – drum type or hammer mills. A new grinding process follows, this time making the timber into small pieces. Hammer mills are most commonly used here. At the end of the stage, uniformity of the particles must be achieved – up to 4 mm.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the most important stages is pressing<\/b> – this is where the wood pellets are shaped. The milled and dried wood is fed to a granulator via a doser and the pellets are formed. Pressing takes place at high pressure and a temperature of over 100 degrees<\/b>. The lignin contained in the wood is the natural glue that softens at such temperatures;<\/p>\n

After drying, the pellets have a temperature between 70 and 90 degrees, this temperature depends on the pressing force;<\/span><\/p>\n

Pressing power is decisive for good quality pellets<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

When the power is higher, it makes the temperature higher, and this determines how high the pellet quality<\/b> will be. Once the process is complete, however, the pellets need cooling. For this, coolers are used, which also achieve the final hardening of the wood pellets. Only then are the pellets suitable for storage and transport.<\/p>\n

How do we know which are good quality pellets?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In order for the customer to choose only quality pellets for their home, there are a few rules to follow;<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pellet diameter;<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Powder Content;<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Pellet fragility;<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Dissolve in water;<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Smooth surface;<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Smell;<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Colour.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To be even more specific and to help our customers, we have created an article with all the rules.

    In order to have quality pellets, it is a good idea to package them and then store them in pre-prepared storage rooms. It is advisable to keep these areas clean (dry) and ventilated.<\/p>

    We at “SchneiderPellets<\/a>“<\/strong> can boast the EN Plus<\/strong> trademark. But what does that mean? In 2010, the EU introduced a single quality standard for wood pellets for heating (EN 14961-2). This standard concerns parameters such as pellet length, diameter, ash, moisture content, etc. The adoption of this quality standard also introduces the EU EN Plus<\/strong> certificate, which is intended for pellets used for domestic use.\u00a0interkeramos<\/a><\/p>

    ENplus <\/strong>distinguishes quality into two – A1 and A2.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    For Class A1, the strictest possible restrictions for ash content in quality pellets have been introduced, with us it is up to 0.69%. For Class A2, the ash content can be up to 1.5%.<\/p>
