In the logistics industry, managing pallet waste sustainably is a growing challenge. Traditional disposal methods contribute to environmental degradation and increasing costs. Biomass boilers offer a promising solution by converting discarded pallets into renewable energy. This approach not only reduces landfill use and carbon footprint but also brings financial benefits by lowering waste management costs. Embracing biomass boilers enhances a company's sustainability profile, aligning with the principles of a circular economy. Explore how Ranheat's biomass boilers can revolutionise your pallet disposal process.

Continuous refinements have been made to wood dust extraction systems, emphasising the enhanced design efficiency of the primary extract fans and the incorporation of multiple fans. An important innovation involved moving the fans to the clean side of the system. This ensured that wood waste would bypass the fan, allowing only clean air through.

With the closure of the Renewable Heat Incentive to new applicants, OFGEM and BSL now have more available time and are conducting more audits than ever before. Should they discover that a recipient lacks the necessary permits and permissions, they will promptly inform the local authorities that a government-funded installation is non-compliant.

The location of the dust extraction system often dictates the site of a wood-fired industrial heating system. Generally, when installing an integrated dust extraction and industrial wood-fired heating system, you don’t want it at the front of your premises. Often, dust extraction systems are installed at the rear.
