Westerwälder Holzpellets from Germany

The production of wood pellets is an exciting business. When you make your entry into a branch that is still young, you often do not know for sure where the market is going. There is as yet no accumulated experience you can revert to and of course there is also the risk. Fortunately, courage and initiative usually pay off, as in our case. When we decided in May 2001 to found Westerwälder Holzpellets GmbH there were a number of reasons why we did so. First, we want to become independent of foreign gas and oil reserves as we believe in wood as an energy source: It is a regional raw material that does not need to be hauled long distances and does not harbour an environmental disaster within itself.

Pabst Pellets from Styria, Austria

It is in the interest of all consumers to be independent of global developments are far as this is possible. Pabst pellets are CO² neutral and easy and clean to handle and so ensure optimised heating properties, ideal exhaust gas values and a reduced wear of ovens.

As raw materials for production, wood shavings and sawdust from solid timber production at the different sites are used. The wood shavings are put into intermediate storage after delivery and are then kiln-dried in a drier with a capacity of 6,500 kg per hour. The finished pellets are stored in large silos and then directly delivered to the ultimate buyers in trucks or filled in handy 15-kilo bags.

The plant will provide an economically valuable and environmentally sound use for available sawmill residues that are often otherwise wasted. Pellets are ecological fuel made of waste from wood-processing industry, such as sawdust etc. The waste is mainly collected from Nisavsko-Jablanicki district. The capacity of the factory is 4 t of pellets per hour, i.e. from 30 to 35.000 t per year.

Biotherm Pellets from Serbia

Wood-Pellet production in Serbia

Rising environmental sensitivity, rising prices for traditional energies with political dependance created a permanently rising demand for alternative and political-independent, renewable andenvironmental friendly CO2 - neutral energies. Within those, Wood-Pellets as a solid fuel (after Ethanol and Oilseed-Rape within the fluid ones) has the highest energetic value because of its high density and low water-content.

The main reason why we had chosen to set-up a wood-pellet production plant in south-east Serbia was the fact that the Golia-Region is rich with Forests and has a long tradition in wood processing. In the region in a radius of 150km we can find more than 450 little to mid-sized saw-mills we are using as suppliers.
