Wood Pellet

Wood pellets are a type of biomass fuel made from compressed sawdust or other wood residues. They are a form of renewable energy and are commonly used as a heating fuel in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

The production of wood pellets involves grinding wood materials into small particles, typically sawdust, and then compressing the particles under high pressure. The lignin, a natural binder present in wood, acts as a glue to hold the pellets together without the need for additional chemicals or additives.

Wood Chip

Wood chips are small pieces or chunks of wood that are commonly used for various purposes. They are typically made by chipping or shredding larger pieces of wood, such as branches, logs, or timber, into smaller, more manageable pieces.

Wood chips can be produced using specialized equipment, such as wood chippers or shredders, which mechanically break down the wood material. The resulting chips can vary in size, ranging from small flakes to larger chunks, depending on the specific application and equipment used.
