Wood Pellets
Sustainable. Efficient. Versatile.
Wood pellets are a renewable, high-energy fuel and material made by compressing dried sawdust and wood shavings under high pressure. During the process, natural lignin in the wood acts as a binder—no additional chemicals or glues are needed. The result is a clean, uniform, and dense pellet that delivers consistent performance and is easy to handle, store, and transport.

​
How Wood Pellets Are Made:
-
Raw Material Sourcing – Residual sawdust, chips, and shavings are collected from sawmills and wood processing facilities.
-
Drying – The material is dried to a low moisture content, ensuring higher combustion efficiency and product stability.
-
Grinding & Conditioning – The dried material is ground into fine particles, then conditioned with steam to prepare for pressing.
-
Pelletizing – The material is pressed through a die, forming dense, cylindrical pellets.
-
Cooling & Screening – Fresh pellets are cooled, screened for uniform size, and packaged or bulk-loaded for shipment.
This production cycle turns by-products of the wood industry into a valuable, sustainable product with wide-ranging applications.

End Uses of Wood Pellets
-
Industrial Heating & Power Generation
Wood pellets are a proven renewable alternative to coal and gas. Their high energy density and low ash content make them ideal for industrial boilers, combined heat and power (CHP) plants, and large-scale heating systems. Many facilities worldwide rely on pellets to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining reliable energy output. -
Residential Heating
In pellet stoves and boilers, wood pellets provide a convenient and eco-friendly heating option. They are easy to store, offer consistent heat, and are available in bulk or bagged formats. -
Animal Bedding
Wood pellets are also widely used as an absorbent, hygienic bedding for horses, poultry, and small animals. Their natural composition, excellent moisture absorption, and low dust properties create a cleaner and more comfortable environment for livestock.
