Using biomass pellets as a heating energy is a modern alternative to using logs stoves along with boilers. Biomass pellet fuel popularity has grown immensely over the last decade, particularly in Sweden, the rest of Europe plus the US. This has led to a dramatic increase in the number wood pellet manufacturer. The two key factors driving the success of of the wood pellet is cost advantage over fossil energy energy, along with drastically reduced carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels. At PelHeat we also try to convey the economic benefits that biomass pellets can bring. At a time when we necessitate jobs in addition to economic security more than ever, supporting your local wood pellet manufacturer can provide jobs as well as keep more money within the local community without spending it abroad on foreign oil. There are though still lessons to be learnt with wood pellet manufacturers. Specially on the type of pellet fuel they create and the source of their raw material supplies.

When the recent economic recession started to hit, it was the housing market which took the first major impact. As mortgages dried up, so did the demand for new housing plus in tern the demand for timber for production. Without this timber processing, there was very little supply of the sawdust the wood pellet manufacturer depends on to make premium grade fuel pellets. This therefore led to a massive charge rise in the price of sawdust, along with supplies were also thin to ground. This lead to wood pellet manufacture coats mounting, along with therefore an increase in the fee of pellet fuel. Also, when the economic recession hit, oil producers knew that they had to lower their prices. For the oil market this is very simple due the high profit margins. Therefore at a time when people had very little money, the fee of wood pellets went up along with the cost of oil fell. This has placed a huge obstacle to the biomass pellet manufacturers, which some failed under.

The wood pellet shortage as well as high pellet prices was caused with the market focusing too heavily on only one grade of biomass pellet energy, plus ignoring most of the other resources which can be created into biomass pellets which generate the same warmth, but just a little more ash. Many pellet consumers today would be willing to accept more ash for a cheaper more readily accessible source of fuel pellets. Though because of poor pellet burner designs, many consumers do not even have this alternative. Many pellet stove as well as boiler manufactures have also been so focused on the premium pellet market, they build their burners by way of minimum specifications to only handle low ash pellets. Many also prefer this, as it makes it much cheaper to manufacture a low ash tolerant wood pellet burner. The wood pellet market needs more divers wood pellet manufacturers. There is a adequate market for locally created wood fuel pellets made from local resources. At PelHeat we specialise in small scale wood pellet production. Firstly a hammer mill is used to lessen the wood to small particles. These particles are then dried to be then fed into the wood pellet mill. Here under high pressure as well as heat the pellet is made.
