What's happened Pini Kay(Pini Kay)?

The phrase known to many today is Pini Kay (Pini Kay) - these are fuel briquettes that are obtained by processing waste from wood and other materials. For those who don’t know, today it is an ecological solid fuel for various stoves, fireplaces and boilers. They are used for devices for various purposes and type. They are an excellent alternative fossil fuels, such as coal, gas, fuel oil, etc.

History of the name and product

This name has a rich history and comes from the Austrian company - manufacturer of presses Pini Kay (Pini Kay) for briquettes. At the moment, this company no longer exists, but it has acquired a name new life and history. The pinike is pressed using an extrusion method using a screw and at the same time the surface is heated with heating elements. Often, Pini Kay (Pini Kay) take on a four-, six- or octagonal shape with a hole in the center. This hole, which is made along the entire Pini kay briquette, creates additional traction when it burns. This property allows the use of pinike in furnaces with low draft. But on the outside they are covered with a dark crust, the reason for this is the firing of the surface. PiniKey Euro firewood is cut with a miter saw. Often, the dimensions are 25-30 cm. They can also use devices to break them into the same pieces - bars.

Types of Pini Kay

Like any other types of fuel, Pini Kay has its own types. Actually, they are divided depending on the material from which they are made. So we have four categories:

• Wood briquettes are made from wood chips, sawdust, low-value wood and other waste.
• Vegetable briquettes are made from waste after agricultural processing, for example, sunflower husks, straw, grain husks, cereal waste, etc.
• Peat fuel briquettes pinikay
• Fuel briquettes from coal waste

The names of the last two groups speak for themselves.

Application and benefits of Pini Kay fuel (Pini Kay)

Today, Pini Kay (Pini Kay) have gained wide popularity and are used for a variety of purposes, let's look at some of them:

1. Can be used to light a fire, for example, on a hike or in the country.
2. Can be used for heating houses, warehouses, industrial and industrial premises
3. Can be used on trains where it is necessary to heat the cars
4. Can be used for cooking shish kebab, steaks and other products in the barbecue, grill, barbecue maker.
5. Can be used to produce high quality charcoal.

Now let's look at the advantages of Pini Kay (Pini Kay)

1. Pini Kay fuel briquettes have a high calorific value - 4900-5100 kcal/kg. This is several times higher than the calorific value of ordinary firewood, as well as RUF fuel briquettes. Thus, we get more heat with less fuel - briquettes.
2. The burning time is much higher than that of ordinary firewood; in addition, fuel briquettes smolder for a very long time. For example, in stoves where the air supply can be regulated, Pini Kay can burn for up to 3 hours. Such a low burning rate increases the time interval for placing briquettes in the oven. And this is very convenient! So we get enough comfortable temperature at a lower frequency of fuel filling.
3. The combustion of PiniKay is not accompanied by a huge amount of smoke and sparks like regular firewood. Which, naturally, will protect the room from a possible fire.
4. They light up very quickly due to low humidity. You can use lighter fluid.
5. They don't leave a lot of ash behind. Pini Kay ash content ranges from 0.2 to 2.5%.
6. Ease of use. No need to pre-dry and prepare like firewood. And also, no special equipment is required for use.
7. Affordable price.
8. Saves storage space. Due to the high density and evenness of Pini Kay surfaces, they can be stacked in several rows without using additional space.

Thanks to all the above advantages, we get environmentally friendly fuel that burns longer, burns better, does not leave behind a lot of waste, and even if it does, it can be used as fertilizer. Pini Kay is benefit in its purest form. They save your money, effort, time and nerves!

Wood fuel briquettes Pini Kay (Pini Kay) from coniferous and deciduous wood - high calorific value and low ash content. Better than firewood!

Lay and dry. About alternative sources most haven't heard. But for example, in Europe, most of the population switched to alternative views fuels: pellets and briquettes. Today I want to tell you about fuel briquettes, show their pros and cons.

Fuel briquettes, or Eurofirewood, are solid biofuels made from processed trees, including wood chips and sawdust. The homeland of Eurowood is Germany, where briquettes have been used since 1984.

Briquettes are produced using the following technology: Sawdust is heated to a high temperature and pressed on a special press. Thanks to their high density of 1.1 kg/dm3 and special lignin glue, fuel briquettes do not fall apart and can be stored for quite a long time in any conditions. At the same time, they take up little space, and provide a little more heat than ordinary oak or birch firewood.

Since the briquette has a high density, it burns for quite a long time. The calorific value of raw firewood is 1800 kilocalories per kilogram, dry - 3600, and fuel briquette - about 5000. If 4-5 kg ​​of firewood burns in half an hour, then the same amount of eurowood burns in 2-4 hours.

If in the production of briquettes deciduous trees are used as raw materials, then the briquettes have low ash content. And if coniferous species are used as raw materials, then the ash content is high. When a briquette is burned, virtually no waste remains.

When burning wood or coal, a small amount of fuel during combustion turns into soot, which subsequently clogs the chimney. If you don’t clean the pipes with aspen firewood every few years or by special means this may cause a fire. This problem does not arise with fuel briquettes made from hardwood - no more than 7% of non-combustible particles remain, and consumers do not need to clean the equipment every time.

The quality of fuel briquettes depends on several factors:

• Density, it should be higher than 1 kg dm3.
• No dirt, impurities or stale raw materials.
• Quality equipment
• Correct process

The fact that the briquette is made from high-quality raw materials and in compliance with technological standards is indicated by its natural color and the absence of odors, except for the smell of wood.

For example, a briquette made from birch, for example, should be white, from pine and others coniferous species– light yellow.

There are three recognized briquette standards - RUF, NESTRO and PINI&KAY. RUF fuel briquettes, in the form of a brick, were the first to appear on the market. They are made from birch, pine needles and oak.

The NESTRO fuel briquette is a cylinder, just like other types, it produces almost no smoke when burned, and coals remain after combustion.

The PINI&KAY standard is subjected to heat treatment and thanks to this, it is maximally resistant to mechanical stress. It is ideal for fireplace insertion and attracts consumers unusual shape polyhedron with a hole inside. All types of fuel briquettes are compact and take up several times less space than firewood. Fuel briquettes can be stored in any room, provided that they are protected from moisture.

Not only do they have clear advantages for the consumer, but they also save Natural resources. The transition to European firewood is a concern for the environment, that is, for our health. After logging and paper production, mountains of sawdust and wood dust remain. They are dangerous to burn due to the threat of fires and cannot be stored indefinitely at the enterprise. Thus, the production of fuel briquettes is both a solution to a pressing problem, and a stop to unnecessary deforestation for firewood, and convenience.

In Sweden, where the state does everything to improve the standard of living of the population, Euro firewood is used in most villages. In our country, few people have heard about fuel briquettes, but little by little progress is being made, and some people are starting to use fuel briquettes.

Fuel briquettes Pini Kay
Pini Key briquettes are made from coniferous or birch wood.

Pini Kay briquettes comply with European standards; often these briquettes are called Eurofirewood, or Eurobriquettes.
The production of Pini Key fuel briquettes (euro firewood) is based on the principle of screw pressing. Pini Kay wood briquettes (euro firewood) are produced on mechanical (screw) presses, through a combination high pressure and thermal (firing) treatment. Dry crushed wood, heated in a special chamber to a temperature of 170-220 degrees, is fed, or rather, pushed, simultaneously pressed, into an extruder, at the output of which a fuel briquette is obtained. Fuel briquettes of the “Pini&Kay” standard “Pini Kay” have the shape of an irregular polyhedron or cylindrical shape, with a hole inside along the entire length. The hole gives additional traction inside the briquette, thanks to it the briquettes burn without forced ventilation and they can be successfully used in low draft fireboxes. In addition, thermal conductivity (heat) increases significantly.
Fuel briquettes Pini Kay "Pini Kay" - European firewood, the most high-tech type of fuel briquettes. The best solid fuel for almost all types of stoves and fireplaces. Pini&Key briquettes (eurowood) are ideal for pyrolysis boilers, increasing their power and heat output several times.
Advantages of Pini Kay Eurowood:
Piny&Key fuel briquettes are very hard and extremely resistant to mechanical stress. Due to their high density, Pini Kay fuel briquettes are well stored in atmospheric humidity conditions in the open air.
Pini Kay wood briquettes (euro firewood) have maximum burning time and combustion heat - they give the most even and long-lasting heat.
Pini Kay fuel briquettes are manufactured using German equipment. Their quality complies with the DIN standard.

Characteristics of fuel briquettes (eurowood) of the Pini Kay standard:
Briquette length – 240-270mm, diameter – 60-80 mm. The surface is glossy. Humidity 4-5%. Heat of combustion – 5200-5300 kcal/kg. Ash content – ​​no more than 0.1%.
Wood briquettes Pini Kay - euro firewood, sale, packaging.
Packs of 5-10 kg, packed in shrink film (each containing 6-12 briquettes). The packs are placed on a Euro pallet. Pallet weight 1 ton. Price list (open)

Consumption of European firewood and wood briquettes per year. 160 kg of wood briquettes (euro firewood) are equal in heat transfer to 1 m3 of dry birch firewood. If you want to roughly calculate the number of wood briquettes you need for a year ( heating season) , open: "Heating costs"

Wood fuel briquettes (euro firewood) are the true fuel of the future! It is worth buying sawdust fuel briquettes only once and you will forever remain a fan of this fuel. You can buy fuel briquettes from us (sawdust briquettes, euro firewood, briquettes for heating) best quality and at the lowest prices! It is possible to sell Euro firewood with delivery throughout Moscow, the Moscow region and to the regions.

Pini Kay fuel briquettes today are very often used to start a fire in a fireplace, stove and for heating wood-burning heating boilers. They are also good for country house, and for the bath, and for the barbecue, and even for the fire. When burning, briquettes do not produce sparks, practically do not crack, do not “shoot”, and almost do not smoke at all. Unlike ordinary firewood, pini kay does not need to be dried; it flares up quickly. It is very important that Eurowood does not contain any chemical additives or glue. They obtain their shape using the pressure of a screw press, which releases the natural adhesive lignin from the sawdust. Thanks to this manufacturing technology, the density of briquettes reaches 1.4 kg/dm 3. During the combustion of this type of fuel, you will not feel any pungent foreign odors; the surrounding air is not filled with harmful chemical compounds.

Pini kay are a solid polygonal cylinder with through hole in the center. This creates additional air draft through the briquette, which helps to easily and quickly light a fire and maintain it even when the draft in the oven is not very strong.

This type of fuel is made from dry sawdust, which is compressed under high pressure and at the end lightly burned on the outside. The result is logs of very high density. Polyethylene packaging - 12 cylinders each, as well as the hardness of the briquettes allow you to simply store them under a canopy outside for the whole winter. They are also very convenient to stack for storage or transportation. Due to the fact that the briquettes are packaged, there is no debris from them at all, unlike firewood.

Piny Kay is one of the densest (denser than Ruf) modern fuel briquettes. That's why they have the most long burning, which is very convenient - you don’t have to throw them into the oven often. The ash content of pini kay is very low, which allows you to clean the chimney less often compared to conventional firewood.

Buying piney kay eurowood means that your heating costs will be significantly reduced!

An excellent replacement for fossil fuels: coal, gas, fuel oil, etc.

The name comes from a company from Austria that produced presses for making briquettes.

Our pini kay price in Moscow is one of the lowest!

Solid fuel boilers are actively used for heating residential buildings. They allow you to do without a gas main and expensive electricity, releasing thermal energy from wood burning in the combustion chamber. Fuel briquettes are often used for kindling. A typical example of this is Pini-Kay briquettes. They are characterized high level calorific value and provide Living spaces big amount heat.

Disadvantages of traditional solid fuel

Pini Kay fuel briquettes were developed in Germany, but today they are supplied by many manufacturers. They are nothing more than compressed wood waste. This fuel comes in the form of neat bars with an internal hole. In this form, it is sent to the furnaces of solid fuel boilers and wood stoves.

Traditional firewood has a number of disadvantages. First, let's note their imperfect shape - this creates problems in storing fuel. Individual bars differ in size from other bars, some of them contain knots, which prevents them from being stacked neatly. Thus, when using firewood in a boiler or stove, you need to take care of purchasing neat logs - they usually cost more.

We also note the low calorific value of wood - this indicator depends on both the type of wood and the level of humidity. And the higher the humidity level, the worse the firewood burns and the less heat generated. The approximate calorific value at a humidity of about 10-15% is 3800-4000 kcal. In the case of Pin-Kay briquettes, this figure is much higher.

What are Pini-Kay briquettes?

Briquettes are supplied on pallets; you can use any suitable place for storage - neat rectangular shape does not create problems when storing fuel.

Pini-Kay wood briquettes are a product of wood waste processing. Dust and shavings are used here. They compress under great pressure, turning into small logs with a hole in the middle. This hole is necessary to improve the combustion of Pini-Kay in the bowels of boilers and furnaces.

In terms of their structure, Pini-Kay wood briquettes resemble enlarged pencil stubs - as if the lead had been taken out of them. This form was not created by chance; it facilitates the ignition of fuel and its further active combustion.

Let's present other advantages of Pini-Kay in the form of a list:

• Excellent characteristics - judge for yourself, the calorific value reaches 5000-5200 kcal, which is 20-25% higher than that of ordinary wood.
• Environmental friendliness - no adhesives or chemical additives are used in the production of briquettes.
• Almost complete combustion - Pini Kay fuel briquettes produce a minimal amount of ash. It should also be noted that the amount of resins released is minimal, which reduces the frequency of cleaning stoves, fireplaces and boilers.
• Even burning - Pini-Kay briquettes do not “shoot”, do not scatter burning coals, and provide a uniform flame.
• Possibility of processing - if necessary, briquetted fuel can be sawed (if it does not fit into the firebox).

Internal humidity is about 4%.

There are also disadvantages:

• For preliminary ignition, you will need some firewood - Euro firewood (aka Pini-Kay briquettes) can be lit well only if you have kindling.
• When storing Euro firewood, you need to pay attention to the humidity level - it is recommended to store them in a heated room (placing them outside is not allowed).
• More high price compared to traditional firewood - it all depends on the manufacturer of fuel briquettes Pini-Kay and pricing policy manufacturer.

Nevertheless, this fuel is popular among consumers.

How to make and where to buy Pini-Kay briquettes

We have already said that the basis for this fuel is environmentally friendly wood waste. Sunflower and rice husks, straw, herbaceous perennial called tyrsa and many other components.

The production of Pini-Kay briquettes is carried out by compressing the raw materials under high pressure and high temperature. As a result, all plant and wood components are combined into small logs. The connecting link here is not glue, but lignin, a natural component found in vegetation. It is released from plant cells when heated and exposed to pressure.

You can purchase Pini-Kay briquettes from specialized suppliers. The price of one package of wood products ranges from 80-90 rubles (package weight is approximately 10-11 kg). Briquettes made from sunflower husks and other plant components are 15-20% cheaper. We recommend finding a regional supplier of briquetted fuel.

Owner reviews

Pressed wood briquettes or plant waste Pini-Kay is a relative newcomer. Therefore, domestic consumers treat them with some mistrust. And this is quite understandable, because heating a home is a serious task that can lead to increased costs. Let's see what reviews say about Pini-Kay briquettes.

Bought a plot in Leningrad region, there is no gas, the neighbors heat their houses with electricity. As it turned out, many simply steal it, underestimating the readings in one way or another. I decided not to indulge this lawlessness and installed a solid fuel boiler. The first year I was fiddling with firewood, I ended up breaking my back and had to undergo treatment for a long time. I accidentally came across Pini-Kay briquettes on the Internet and decided to try it. They cost more, but the heat transfer from them is also higher - the boiler is already humming during operation. They provide disproportionately more heat than ordinary logs. And it’s convenient to store - I bought several pallets and placed them in a utility room adjacent to the house, away from dampness.
