The pellet consists of pressed wooden cylinders, produced
from sawdust and woodworking (shavings and sawdust). Being
obtained from woodworking waste, it respects the ecosystem
because it does not require the knocking down of new trees.
As required by current legislation governing the product features
of fuels, it must be produced exclusively with untreated sawdust,
without other added materials.
The binding capacity of the lignin, contained in wood, allows
to obtain a compact product without adding additives and
chemical substances unrelated to wood: therefore, a high yield
natural fuel is obtained.
Use of poor quality pellets or other unsuitable materials may
damage certain components of the boiler and compromise its
correct operation.
For the Immergas boilers only use with 6mm diameter, 30 mm
long pellets having maximum 6% humidity. Store the pellets
away from sources of heat, and not in humid areas or explosive
environments.
It is recommended to use EN PLUS A1 certified pellets ac-
cording to ISO 17225-2.
