If you rely on a pellet boiler for your heating, maintaining a clean pellet store is essential for safe boiler operation, efficiency, and longevity. Regular maintenance not only ensures your system runs smoothly but also keeps you in compliance with ENplus guidelines, which are designed to maintain the quality of your pellets and protect the performance of your boiler.
Why Regular Pellet Store Cleaning is Crucial for safe BOILER OPERATION
Over time, wood pellets naturally break down, and the fines (small particles) and wood dust accumulate at the bottom and on the walls of your pellet store. If left unchecked, this build-up can affect both the performance of your boiler and the quality of the fuel you’re using. Removing these fines and dust is an important step in keeping everything running smoothly.
ENplus Recommendations
To ensure optimal performance and avoid potential issues, ENplus recommends cleaning your pellet store after every 5 deliveries or at least once every 2 years, whichever comes first. This simple maintenance task will help maintain the efficiency of your boiler and prevent the build-up of unnecessary debris.
A Tip for Changing Suppliers
If you’re switching pellet suppliers, it’s also a good idea to perform a full store extraction. When pellets from different suppliers are mixed, it can lead to quality complaints that are difficult to resolve. Cleaning out the store before introducing new pellets ensures that you can clearly identify the cause of any issues should they arise.
