Rosina Pellets per full pallet: 65 15-kg bags
This is the amount needed for an average family to get through a heating season, and it is the best value way to buy pellets per bag. Rosina Pellets are ENplus A1-certified softwood pellets (Pinus), pressed from wood shavings from our own timber processing operations, without any additives or binding agents.
A full pallet consists of 65 15-kg bags, totalling 975 kg.
Why a full pallet offers the best value per bag
Pellets are compressed, stacked, wrapped in film and transported by the pallet. The less repacking and separate handling is required en route, the lower the cost per bag, and we pass that saving on to you. Moreover, those who stock up in the spring or summer usually get a better deal than those who only start looking in November: that’s when demand peaks and everyone is vying for the same stock at the same time.
How much is 975 kg in real terms?
At around one bag per heating day, 65 bags will see you through most of a normal winter. If you heat your home entirely with pellets in a well-insulated property, one pallet is often sufficient. In a larger or poorly insulated home, you can expect to use one and a half to two pallets per season. A full pallet provides roughly 4,500 to 4,900 kWh of heat, which allows you to compare the cost of pellets with your previous gas or heating oil bill.
A pallet made without felling any trees
Rosina has been manufacturing doors and timber profiles in Rio dos Cedros, in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina – the heart of the country’s largest pine reforestation project – since 1989. Every day, the planing and milling of all this timber produces clean wood shavings, and it is precisely this by-product that is compressed into pellets at the company’s own factory. No extra trees are felled to produce these pellets: it is timber that was already there, and which would otherwise have been waste.
Production is fully automated and takes place without any chemical additives, starch or binding agents. The pellets are held together solely by the lignin naturally present in the wood. So what you put into your stove is nothing more than compressed softwood.
Delivery and unloading
The pallet arrives in one piece and weighs almost a tonne. Make sure there is a paved, accessible area where the delivery can be unloaded, as close as possible to where you want to stack the bags. A gravel driveway or soft verge makes it difficult for a pallet truck to manoeuvre. If you’d prefer to move the bags in two batches, leave the pallet covered and unload it in stages.
Store in a dry place, even after six months
Pellets are compressed wood and absorb moisture. Store them indoors, off the ground and away from damp walls. A pallet that spends the summer in a dry garage will still be in perfect condition by November. A pallet that has been left outside under a tarpaulin often isn’t: condensation under the tarpaulin causes just as much damage as rain. Bags that feel swollen or clammy produce less heat and more ash.
Would you prefer a smaller amount after all?
If you don’t have space for a full pallet, take a look at the Rosina Pellets: half a pallet containing 33 bags. If you’d like to try this brand out in your own stove first, you can order a single Rosina Pellets, 15 kg bag.
Why Rosina Pellets?
Consistency is key across an entire pallet. A pellet that maintains the same length, moisture content and density from the first to the sixty-fifth bag allows your stove to run on a single setting. Because Rosina presses its pellets from a single, pure waste stream from its own factory, without any additives or binders, this consistency is no coincidence but a direct result of the raw material.
ENplus A1 is not merely a marketing term, but a standard that is subject to monitoring: it sets limits on ash content, moisture content, density and the amount of fine dust, and it requires the manufacturer to ensure traceability. For you, this is the simplest guarantee that what you put into your stove is actually what is stated on the bag.
