Wood pellet
Wood pellet is a solid fuel that is produced by crushing and densifying waste timber like sawdust, forestry residues, forestry wastes. The length is 1-4cm and the diameter is generally 6, 8, 10, or 12mm. It is possible to produce 25mm wood pellet at maximum. In Sweden, 6mm wood pellet is encouraged to use in house as it can realize the best condition of combustion. Wood pellet production doesn't need to add binder as lignin, an element of wood, plays a role of binder and helps to pelletize when it is melted by heat.

Descriptions: Wood pellets are a renewable resource, the fuel that is already widely available in the world nowadays. The sawdust or wood shavings are compressed under great pressure and forced through holes. This is a hot process and the natural lignin in the sawdust/wood shavings melts and binds the dust together, holding the pellet in shape and giving it that characteristic sheen on the outside
Economic efficiency: Wood pellets are extremely dense and can be produced with a low moisture content (below 10%) that allows them to be burned with a very high combustion efficiency. Their high density also permits compact storage and rational transport over long distances. Electricity generated from pellets in converted coal plants is almost the same cost as electricity generated from natural gas, diesel.
Environmentally friendly: Wood pellets are a sustainable fuel that can deliver a significant reduction in net carbon emissions when compared with fossil fuels. Its production and use also bring additional environmental and social benefits.
Using scopes: Biomass fuels replace fossil fuels in power plants, stoves, the boiler of textile, food, leather, animal feeding, dye industrial, and animal bedding.
The best of both worlds. Higher heat output from the softwood, with the stable burn of hardwood. More than 8600 BTUs per pound and under one percent ash create a hot, yet clean fire. This pellet is also available in 20lbs bags to make it a little easier on your back.
We source our softwood pellet raw materials from softwood residues from sawmills and other softwood processing. No whole trees are used in Energex wood pellets. Softwood has a lower density than hardwood in its original form, so it burns faster at a higher temperature. However, this changes once the softwood is densified into a wood pellet and has the same density as a hardwood pellet. The biggest difference comes with the extra lignins in softwood pellets make them burn hotter than hardwood, meaning production quality truly decides what you will get out of your pellets. It is not determined based on the wood species.
Wood Pellets are a type of biomass fuel made from compressed sawdust, wood shavings, and other wood residues. They are widely used as a renewable energy source for heating and power generation. The process of making wood pellets involves drying, compressing, and extruding the wood material into small, cylindrical pellets, typically measuring 6-10 mm in diameter and 10-30 mm in length. Their high energy content and consistent size make them an efficient and convenient fuel source.
Key Characteristics of Wood Pellets:
1. Composition:
- Raw materials: Wood pellets are typically made from sawdust, shavings, and residues from sawmills or wood processing industries. Hardwood or softwood can be used, though the type of wood affects the pellet's burning characteristics.
- Binders: During the pelletizing process, the natural lignin in the wood acts as a binder, so no additional chemicals are usually needed.
2. Energy Content:
- High calorific value: Wood pellets have an energy content of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 kcal/kg, depending on the type of wood and the moisture content.
- Low moisture content: Typically, wood pellets have a moisture content of less than 10%, which contributes to their high efficiency when burned as fuel.
3. Environmental Benefits:
- Renewable: Wood pellets are considered a renewable energy source because they are made from natural and abundant wood residues.
- Carbon neutral: When burned, wood pellets release CO2, but since this carbon was absorbed by the trees during their growth, the process is considered carbon neutral, contributing less to global warming compared to fossil fuels.
- Sustainable production: Many producers source wood from sustainably managed forests, ensuring the long-term availability of raw materials.
4. Applications
- Residential heating: Wood pellets are commonly used in pellet stoves and boilers to heat homes. They are a clean, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to traditional wood logs or coal.
- Industrial energy: Large-scale power plants and industrial facilities use wood pellets to generate heat or electricity. Some countries, especially in Europe, use wood pellets in co-firing processes with coal to reduce carbon emissions.
- District heating: In some countries, wood pellets are used in district heating systems that provide heat to multiple buildings from a central plant.
5. Advantages:
- High energy density: Wood pellets are dense, making them more efficient for transport and storage compared to other biomass fuels like wood chips or logs.
- Low ash content: When burned, wood pellets produce very little ash (less than 1%), making them cleaner to handle and easier to maintain in heating systems.
- Consistency: Their uniform size and moisture content ensure consistent combustion, making them easier to regulate in automated heating systems.
Donot underestimate our Hardwood Premium wood pellet. We took a wood stove staple that provides a high BTU value and ash levels on par with higher-end options while keeping an affordable price. Get over 8500 BTUs and enjoy an ash level under one percent.
Hardwood fuel pellets come from sawmill residuals of hardwood lumber or other residuals from hardwood processing. Due to a higher density in its original form, hardwood tends to burn longer and slower than softwood, but at a lower temperature. However, once hardwood and softwood become pellets, they are compressed to a similar density and burn in a much more similar manner. However, hardwood pellets will not burn quite as hot as softwood pellets due to a lower concentration of lignins in the wood. What matters, in the end, is quality whether hardwood or softwood, a wood pellet is only as good as the company making it. The species of wood for the pellets is never the deciding factor.
We are the direct supply of this certified Dinplus Wood Pellet. As a renewable fuel, wood is the perfect solution for a secure, sustainable heating supply. Unlike fossil fuels, burning wood pellets is broadly carbon neutral. Burning wood pellets releases the same amount of carbon dioxide (COâ??) as the tree absorbed when it was growing. The carbon cycle therefore remains in equilibrium. Wood pellets are a genuine alternative to fossil fuels and, averaged over the long-term, cheaper than comparable fuels. In addition, prices are less prone to fluctuation than fuels such as heating oil and natural gas. Our pellets and briquettes are subject to constant internal and external quality controls, which guarantee a continuously consistent top quality. As a result, quality products achieve test results that far exceed the requirements of current standards.

On the one hand, the raw material is sawn residue wood (wood chips, planing chips or wood chips) that is produced in sawmills. During drying, water is extracted from the further crushed chips. A water content of less than 10% explains why pellets are so much more efficient compared to logs. In the pellet presses, the chip cake is pressed through a steel die, similar to a meat grinder. High temperatures and high pressure ensure that the wood's own lignin, which is responsible for the strength in the plant tissue, is liquefied. With the subsequent cooling, the lignin hardens, and the pellets receive the required strength. In the following sieving, dust is removed before the pellets are temporarily stored in silos. From here, they are either loaded into the truck as loose goods or packed in bags. Wood pellets Production experience 100% pure wood Wood pellets are made exclusively of pure wood. In our production plants, we process sawmill residues from domestic sawmills or woodworking companies. wood pellets are delivered loose in the factory's own silo truck or packed in bags. One pallet holds 72 bags of 15 kg (1,080 kg) each. Each pallet is neatly wrapped with a film to protect the pellets from external and weathering effects.

A popular biomass briquette emerging in developed countries takes a waste produce such as sawdust, groundnut shell etc compresses it and then extrudes it to make a reconsistuted log that can replace firewood. It is a similar process to forming a wood pellet but on a larger scale. There are no binders involved in this process. The natural lignin in the wood binds the particles of wood together to form a solid. Burning a wood briquette is far more efficient than burning firewood. Moisture content of a briquette can be as low as 4%, whereas green firewood may be as high as 65%. Use of biomass briquettes can earn carbon credits for reducing emissions in the atmosphere. Biomass briquettes also provide more calorific value/kg and save around 30-40 percent of boiler fuel costs.
