BioLite BioFuel Pellets (1kg)

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

production of BioLite wood pellets

Pellets are made without the addition of chemical-synthetic binding agents from untreated planing and sawdust, which are compressed 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 reception of the chips through processing to the finished pellet. The highly compressed pellets provide a homogeneous and natural fuel, which led to the development of the first pellet stoves in the 1970s. During the actual pelletization, the wood chips are pressed through a die with rollers.

The Art of Pellet Production

The real art now lies in homogenizing the raw wood so that the press can process a raw material with identical properties at any time. This applies above all to the wood moisture content and the grain size of the chips. In order to guarantee a consistent 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 press. The treatment of the pellets from the way out of the press to the delivery vehicle is also not unimportant for their quality. This is where it is decided whether you will later find pellets or wood dust in your bag.

BioLite wood pellets exceed 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 a 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.
