Sawdust Pellet

Sawdust pellets are a type of biomass fuel made from compressed sawdust, a byproduct of woodworking operations. These pellets are used as a renewable energy source for heating purposes. The content of sawdust pellets typically includes the following components:

Sawdust: The primary ingredient, which is finely ground wood particles obtained from sawmills or other wood processing industries. It is important that the sawdust used is clean and free from contaminants.

Calorific Value: This represents the amount of heat produced when the pellets are burned. The calorific value of sawdust pellets is influenced by the type of wood used and the manufacturing process.

Ash Content: When sawdust pellets are burned, they leave behind ash. The ash content varies depending on the type of wood used and the manufacturing process. Low ash content is desirable as it reduces the amount of residue left behind.

Binder: Some manufacturers may add binders to the sawdust to help the pellets maintain their shape during the compression process. Common binders include natural substances like lignin, which is already present in wood, or other organic materials.

Moisture Content: The moisture content of sawdust pellets is crucial for efficient combustion. The pellets need to be properly dried to ensure they burn effectively and produce a high level of heat. Typically, the moisture content of good-quality pellets is around 6-10%.

Density: Pellets are compressed to increase their energy density, making them easier to handle, transport, and store. The density of sawdust pellets is an important factor in determining their quality and energy efficiency.
