Fuel Grade Wood
Chip / Biomass -
We provide woodchip
for woodchip boilers.
It is graded to limit
the size of the chip
and has moisture content
below 30%. It can
be delivered in bulk
amounts or tonne sacks.
Contract Chipping
/ Biomass Harvesting
-
If you have a boiler
and a source of wood
for it, but need it
chipping we can come
and chip it for you.
Our chipper is crane
or manually fed and
grades the chip on
exit from the machine.
Firewood -
We provide split,
dry seasoned firewood,
delivered by the trailer
load or in bags.
Thinning
for Biomass -
We are now conducting
forestry thinning
operations. For 1st
thinning we fell lines
of trees and leave
them where they fall
for 1 or 2 summers.
This brings the moisture
content down to the
required level. The
trees are then chipped
whole in the forest
and the chip is removed
for sale. Chip brings
a better price than
pulp wood, the normal
product produced from
1st thinning. Also
the whole tree is
used, not just the
main stem. With this
method there is no
need for an expensive
harvester or it's
transport costs. The
second year we use
a 13 tonne excavator
fiteed with a tree
sheer to conduct selective
thinning through out
the rest of the plantation,
again leaving the
trees whole to be
chipped after 1 summer.
This method can produce
some profit for the
owner, compared to
traditional methods,
which are unlikely
to breakeven. |
