WHICH FUELS CAN WE USE?

Wood is one of the most precious materials

offered by nature

It is the cheapest fuel on the market and its use

allows advantageous savings on the family

economy.

Plants are capable of absorbing and storing the energy

of the sun with a process called photosynthesis. Plants

absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen producing

organic substances used for human nutrition, to obtain

industrial products and to produce energy (wood).

The carbon dioxide released during the combustion

of wood is the same as that subtracted from the plant

that produced the wood. Wood, as opposed to fossil

fuels (petroleum or natural gas) is an inexhaustible and

renewable energy source. Optimal yields are obtained

with well-dried seasoned wood. Correct seasoning

guarantees a fuel with an excellent yield which is low

polluting. It should be borne in mind that the cut size

has their importance depending on the combustion

phase in which we are, of the type of hearth (stove,

fireplace, boiler) and of the economic convenience

(small pieces cost more than large ones due to the

greater waste generated during cutting and the longer

time it takes). The calorific value of the different types

of wood depends a lot on their humidity and density,

consequently the power of the boilers or stoves is

directly influenced by the type of wood used. On

average, well-seasoned wood has a calorific value of

3200 kcal / kg.

It is a high value fuel, caloric and ecological

Produced with the use of residues from wood

processing. The “pellets” burn like real wood

as they are, residues from wood processing

compressed into small pieces.

Pellets, cylindrical in shape, without the addition

of any glue are stored inside 15 kg bags e are

generally delivered directly to your home by the

supplier on special pallets from 33 to 66 bags.

CLEAN NATURAL FUEL , EASYTRANSPORTABLE. To

ensure trouble- free combustion the pellets must be

stored in a dry place. This product is very low in

humidity and therefore burns very well, leaving very

little almost no ash residue and “dirty” fumes (except

in the few seconds of switching on). Our pellet stoves

or heating stoves have a great autonomy of operation.

Thanks to the ability to set the times on and off and

the days of operation. The “tank” can contain about

15 kg up to 75 kg of pellets, which correspond to an

autonomy in “continuous” operation from 10 to 60

hours, this autonomy can extend enormously, thanks

to programming on several time bands, “intermittent”

operation increases autonomy from 1 to 5 days

(which is impossible with a load of traditional wood).

The energy produced by the combustion of the pellets

is constant and controlled. The calorific value of the

pellet depends on it’s quality and the type of wood

used to produce it. On average, the pellet has a

calorific value of 4500 kcal / kg.

It is a natural product, obtained only with

mechanical processes

During the processing of the olives, it is obtained

thanks to specific machines that exploit the

centrifugal force.

The “OLIVE STONE“ is a natural agricultural product

and ecological, which respects the environment and

territory. This product is less moisture-poor by 12% and

therefore burns very well, leaving very little ash residue

less than 0.8%. Classified as combustible biomass

“plant material produced by the mechanical processing

of agricultural products “as it complies with Legislative

Decree no. 152 of 03/04/06 and to the d.p.c.m.

08/10/04. It’s important to know that virgin olive

stone differs from exhausted de-oiled pomace pits

(not to be used) which is produced by the mills and

treated subsequently in the pomace mills. The latter

type of “stone” therefore contains residues of chemical

treatments, has a lower power calorific (lower than

the pellet) and higher formation of ashes. The calorific

value of the olive stone depends on it’s quality and the

type of olives used to produce it. On average, the olive

stone has a calorific value of 6500 kcal / kg.
