Pellets and feeding
Pellets are made by subjecting wood shavings, i.e. the rejects of pure wood (without paint) produced by sawmills, joineries and other activities
connected to working and transforming wood, to very high pressures.
This type of fuel is fully ecological as no glues are used to hold it together. Indeed, the compactness of the pellets over time is guaranteed by
a natural substance found in wood: lignite.
As well as being an ecological fuel, as wood residues are made the most of, the pellet also has technical advantages.
While wood has a calorific value of 4.4 kWh/kg. (with 15% humidity, thus after 18 months of seasoning), the calorific value of pellets is 5 kWh/kg.
The density of pellets is about 650 kg/m
3
and water content is equal to 8% of its weight. For this reason, pellets do not need to be seasoned in
order to obtain a sufficiently adequate heat output.

Pellet HOPPeR
During stove operation, the pellet hopper lid must always be closed.
The pellets used must be class a1 certified according to standard
isO 17225-2 (enplus-a1, din Plus or nf 444 of the following
category: “High quality NF biocombustible wood pellets”).
Uni en 303-5 with the following characteristics: water content
≤ 12%, ash content ≤ 0.5% and lower calorific value >17 MJ/kg (in
the case of boilers).
The Manufacturer recommends using pellets with a diameter of
6mm with its products.
Pellet stORage
To guarantee combustion without problems, the pellets must be
kept in a dry place.
Open the tank lid and load the pellets using a scoop.
