Wood Pellets Suppliers and Fuel Pellets

The internet makes it very easy to purchase wood pellets online, however it is not always the best way to buy wood pellets, until you know the quality of the fuel you are purchasing. Before buying large quantities of pellet fuel over the internet, try and request a sample, say 500Kg, to see how the fuel performs in your pellet stove or boiler. Though the prices of online pellet fuel may seem the best option, in many cases you will have a more reliable service from a local pellet dealer.

Having a good relationship with your local pellet dealer or even pellet manufacturer can have many advantages. One of the key points to consider is even though your local pellet dealer may not have the lowest pellet prices, the complete sale price including delivery maybe cheaper. The simple reason is a pellet dealer has large deliveries of pellets, so the delivery cost per ton is quite low. The high cost comes in delivering smaller quantities of pellets to individual locations. Therefore as you are close to you local pellet dealer, the distance of the small pellet load is smaller and cheaper. Therefore the total cost including delivery maybe cheaper. If possible and you can go and collect the pellets yourself, even more savings can be made.

Wood Pellet Production and Pellet Mills

Pellet production regarded by many people in the industry, including PelHeat, is more of an art than an exact science. There are various conditions which all materials share to producing quality pellets, however there are also suitable differences which each material prefers to make the best pellet while achieving the highest productivity and the lowest energy input.

One of the main factors which is required for all raw materials is a low moisture content, generally on average 15% helps the material to make the best quality pellets. Too little moisture and the material cannot bind together as there is not enough moisture to help the material reach the required temperature in the pellet mill, and spread the natural lignin to bind the pellet. Too much moisture and it is impossible for the pellet to be compressed to the required level, and cool into a solid pellet shape. Different percentages of moisture can also effect loading on the pellet mill and energy consumptions which is vitally important.
