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.
