Thanks to pellets, we contribute to the country's economy by reducing fossil-based imports. As a result of using pellet fuel, the amount of waste is quite low. It is also advantageous that harmful exhaust emissions are within acceptable limits as a result of its use. These features arise because pellet fuel is produced from different materials. Pellets are created by drying and then grinding all kinds of industrial or agricultural wastes. However, the ground waste is finally compressed under high pressure. In short, pellets are formed as a result of drying, grinding and compression. What are the raw materials of pellet fuel? Pellet fuel contains wastes such as sawdust, tree branches, tree bark, crop stalks, hazelnuts, and cones at the bottom of trees. In addition, other raw materials in the pellet are auxiliary binders in certain proportions.

Pellet types are briefly as follows; wood pellet, alfa alpha pellet, waste pellet, sawdust pellet, sunflower stalk pellet, grass pellet, straw pellet, coal mixed pellet, olive pulp pellet. What are the Usage Areas of Pellet? Pellets are used for heating and industrial purposes. We can actually use pellet fuel in many areas of our lives. In addition, it is possible to use pellet fuel in homes, factories, workplaces, hostels, sites, apartments, detached settlements and in fact all areas that require heat. Pellet heating is among the Bioenergy sources. Pellet heating is also widely preferred for industrial purposes. In short, pellets are suitable for use in many areas of our lives.
