Pellets are a compressed form of their original raw material; pellets used as a heating fuel generally are either 6mm or 8mm in diameter and have an average length of just under an inch.
The picture is of some wood pellets produced by PelHeat.
The Advantages of Pellets:
1. They have a density of at least 40lbs/cubic foot
2. Flow like a liquid, ideal for automatic feeding systems
3. Used in Pellet Stoves and Pellet Boilers
4. Can be used in small scale and large scale applications
5. Easy to handle, store and transport
6. Improved combustion characteristics over raw material
Upgrading biomass into pellets converts them into a much more efficient and convenient fuel source. With the PelHeat Mobile Pelletizer the choice of biomass is up to you, based on what biomass you have available to you and what your pellet burner can burn without complications.
In the future I will show more pictures of pellets we have made from Miscanthus, Reed Canary Grass, Straw even Cardboard.
Thank you for your interest
