Wood pellets

Pellets are small, cylindrical objects with a diameter less than 20mm, made of compressed and dried biomaterial. Standard diameters are 6, 8 and 12mm.

The raw material is wood, which is dried to a water content of 9% or lower. The chips are milled into fine particles before drying.

Because of their small size, pellets can be handled in practically the same way as oil, making them ideal for transportation in bulk for large loads or in large or small sacks for smaller loads.
