Energex Pellet Fuel's premium grade wood pellet
fuel is made from 100% natural wood sawdust which is waste from sawmills in
the United States and Canada.
The basic process to manufacture this product is fairly simple. The
clean waste sawdust is first pulverized to a uniform size and then dried to
a specific moisture level. It is then forced through a press under very high
pressure to produce the pellet that you use in your stove.
Since there are no artificial additives or binders used in this process
it is very important to store your fuel in a cool dry place. Moisture will cause
your pellet fuel to lose its form and will greatly reduce its heating and
burning capabilities.
Additionally, you should refrain from moving the bags of fuel more than
necessary. Excessive handling may cause the pellets to break and as the pellets
break a small amount of loose sawdust is produced. This loose sawdust is called
fines and in excess can cause difficulty with some fuel feed systems.
We at Energex continually strive to produce the highest quality pellets
fuels possible and have incorporated numerous quality controls and testing
procedures to maintain that quality. We guarantee that our product meets
or exceeds the Pellet Fuels Institute's standard for premium grade fuel.
Despite these efforts the nature of raw materials is quite variable
and will result in minor variations in the finished product. Some possible
variations that you might see are color, length, and ash content. Minor
variations of this sort will not affect the performance of most pellet appliances.
