1.3 Pellet quality, Intended use
The Flexilo
TROUGH for wood pellets is intended solely for the storage of wood pellets. The
maximum acceptable bulk good temperature is 50 °C.
If you want to store other materials you need to get in touch with the manufacturer
necessarily.
We assume use of quality pellets complying with EU-Norm EN 14961-2
respectively
complying with DINplus that have a diameter of 6 mm. According to the DEPV-guidelines
only certified ENplus A1 quality pellets are recommended.
Quality class A2 is used in larger boilers in excess of 100 kW like in the commercial area.
The quality classes are distinguished primarily by the ash content and the permissible ash
softening temperature. The boiler manufacturer must permit the use of the A2 quality pellets
in their boilers.
