Pellets made from wheat straw are a cost-effective alternative to wood pellets, but they contain a higher proportion of sulfur, chlorine, and ash, which can cause slagging in the boiler and complications during its operation. The low ash melting point and small amount of heavy metals require a special boiler with an ash remover that can also handle other types of agropellets. Although wood pellets offer better combustion properties, the stable and lower price of straw pellets is the main advantage for long-term use.

Usability of Straw Pellets

Straw pellets have several uses. They can serve as fuel for special boilers, providing efficient heating. In addition, they are also ideal in agriculture, particularly as bedding for animals like horses or cattle, due to their excellent absorption capabilities. This material ensures comfort for the animals and reduces the maintenance requirements of stables.
