They are made of 100 percent natural wood. They are made from planing and sawdust, a by-product of the wood processing industry - no tree has to be felled separately. In addition, only raw materials from the region are used, which keeps the transport routes particularly short. We avoid unnecessary CO2 pollution.

Production of BioLite wood pellets

Pellets are made without the addition of chemical-synthetic binders from untreated wood shavings and sawdust, which are compacted under high pressure. The raw material for the production of wood pellets is a by-product or waste product of the wood processing industry and is therefore available at low cost. The quality of the chips used plays a decisive role in a high-quality end product. Quality controls take place from the chip acceptance through processing to the finished pellet.

With the highly compacted compacts, a homogeneous and natural fuel is available, which led to the development of the first pellet stoves as early as the 1970s. During the actual pelleting process, the wood chips are pressed through a die with rollers.

The art of pellet production

The real trick is to homogenize the raw material wood in such a way that the press can process a raw material with identical properties at any time. This applies above all to the moisture in the wood and the grain size of the chips. In order to guarantee an even chip quality with a regulated residual moisture content, the chips are pre-dried in advance using a belt dryer.

The different types of wood also place different demands on the baler. Not entirely unimportant for the quality of the pellets is their treatment from the way out of the press to the delivery vehicle. This is where it is decided whether you will later find pellets or wood dust in your sack.

BioLite wood pellets are better than the requirements of the European standard EN 14961-2

Modern production methods and many years of experience as well as high-quality raw materials ensure consistently high product quality without additional finishing processes. 100% green electricity is used for production. The raw materials are sourced from sustainable forestry with ecological standards.
