What are EN plus A1 pellets?

ENplus A1 pellets refer to a specific classification and certification for wood pellets. ENplus is a European certification system designed to ensure the quality of wood pellets. The A1 classification within the ENplus system indicates that the pellets meet certain high standards and specifications.

Here are some features of ENplus A1 pellets:

1. Raw material:

   • The pellets should be made from clean, untreated wood, preferably softwoods such as pine. Softwood is known for its good combustion properties.

2. Manufacturing process:

   • The production of ENplus A1 pellets must comply with strict standards and procedures. This includes drying the wood chips to reduce moisture content and pressing the pellets under high pressure.

3. Density and Calorific Value:

   • ENplus A1 pellets must have a specific density and calorific value. This means that they must contain a certain amount of energy per kilogram, which is important for efficient combustion.

4. Ash content:

   • The ash content of ENplus A1 pellets is limited. High-quality pellets generally produce less ash, which extends the life of heating appliances and contributes to cleaner combustion.

5. Certification:

   • Pellet producers who meet ENplus A1 standards can obtain this certification. This gives consumers the confidence that the pellets meet strict quality and sustainability standards.

The use of ENplus A1 certified pellets is recommended for consumers seeking an efficient, clean and sustainable heating solution. The certification system contributes to consistent quality and makes it easier for consumers to recognize high-quality wood pellets.
