Wood chip boiler · Farm, property and industry
With bought-in chips, heat from a wood chip boiler costs approx. SEK 0.30/kWh. We supply the whole wood chip plant – the boiler, the chip store, the feed system, the accumulator tank and the installation.
Sustainable heating since 1976 · General agent in Scandinavia for PelleTech
01Range
Two wood chip boilers from PelleTech cover most needs: Multiauto for properties, farms and smaller industries, and the industrial boiler IDRO for high outputs. If you already have an industrial boiler, the BU wood chip burner connects to it.

02Output
We work out the right output in a free heat-load calculation. If one boiler is not enough, up to four can be connected in cascade – with IDRO up to 4.6 MW.
| For wood chips | Output | Sizes and uses |
|---|---|---|
| PelleTech MultiautoWood chip boiler | 20–200 kW | Seven versions with output ranges of 9–22, 18–35, 38–60 and 65–100 kW plus 135, 150 and 200 kW. For properties, farms and smaller industries. Four boilers in cascade give up to 800 kW. |
| PelleTech IDROIndustrial wood chip boiler | 200 kW–4.6 MW | 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500 kW and a larger boiler of 700–1,150 kW. Four IDRO 500 in cascade give 2 MW, four IDRO 1,150 give 4.6 MW. |
| PelleTech BUWood chip burner for an existing boiler | 200 kW–2.2 MW | Eight sizes, from BU 200 to BU 2200. Connects to an industrial boiler for hot water, steam or thermal oil and replaces the oil or gas burner. |
| PelleTech AEROHot air heater | 150–500 kW | AERO 150, 200, 350 and 500 burn wood chips and pellets. The smaller AERO 60 and 110 burn pellets only. |
| LATherm wood chipsMobile hot air from LASCO | 150–750 kW | H150, H250 and H750 in containers, steplessly adjustable from 50 to 100 %. For drying and for heating halls, greenhouses and stables. |
| Heating plantsReady-built boiler room | 200 kW–2 MW | The whole boiler room in a building of its own, with PelleTech IDRO or AERO – with or without a built-in fuel store. |
| Construction and rental heatingWood chip boiler in a container | 200–1,000 kW | Water-based heating or hot air. Rent or buy the whole plant or parts of it. |
The outputs apply to wood chips. We work out the size that suits you in the heat-load calculation.
Wood chips in cubic metres per year come to roughly twice the boiler output in kilowatts – up to three times with poorer chips. Actual consumption depends on the quality and moisture content of the chips.
03Price
The price is calculated case by case, because it depends on the whole plant and not just the boiler. That is why we start with a free heat-load calculation and then send a quotation for your plant.
What drives the price
The output determines the size of the boiler and whether one boiler or several in cascade are needed.
A new wood chip boiler, the BU wood chip burner for an existing industrial boiler, or hot air from AERO and LATherm wood chips.
Spring agitators up to 180 m³, scraper-floor stores up to 500 m³, a carport or a store in the heating plant – and the screws to the boiler.
The guideline is 20–30 litres per kW of boiler output. The tank gives longer run times and fewer starts and stops.
An existing boiler room, a container or a ready-built heating plant of 200 kW–2 MW.
From mechanical installation to a turnkey contract with buried pipework, chimney and substations. Local plumbing and electrical contractors can also install to our drawings.
For example a built-in electrostatic filter, cyclone, central ash discharge and internet connection – and for IDRO, bio-oil as a backup fuel in the same boiler body.
A major service once or twice a year, preferably with a service agreement. We service plants all over Sweden, including other makes.
Use the boiler room you already have. If you have an industrial boiler, the BU wood chip burner can replace the oil or gas burner so that the boiler stays. Local plumbing and electrical contractors can install to our drawings, and an electrostatic filter built into IDRO costs less and takes up less space than an external filter unit.
A wood chip boiler is built for several biofuels, so you can burn whatever is cheapest and easiest to get hold of. An electric boiler or a heat pump can only run on electricity.

Where the boiler can stand
The wood chip boiler goes into the boiler room you have, with the store alongside or some distance away. IDRO can also stand on a platform that is slid into the boiler room.
IDRO can be delivered ready in a container. As construction and rental heating, the wood chip boiler comes in a container of 200–1,000 kW, to rent or buy.
A heating plant is the whole boiler room in a building of its own, 200 kW–2 MW. It is tested and fine-tuned before delivery and lifted into place by crane.
05The fuel
The boilers are made for wood chips of size P16S and P31S (G50+). The PelleTech boilers handle chips with up to 40 % moisture content.
Coarser chips work too, with larger screws – from 38 kW Multiauto has a 150 mm stoker screw. The BU wood chip burner handles chips up to P45S. We plan coarser material together with you.
The wetter the chips, the lower the output and the more fuel is used. Dry chips under cover give more heat, and ventilation in the store helps. For really wet chips there is the Biotherm burner, which burns extremely moist wood chips – and horse manure with up to 60 % moisture content.
Multiauto and IDRO have a moving stepped grate. It moves during operation, cleans itself continuously without the boiler stopping and handles more, wetter and dirtier fuels – even chips with bark. A fixed grate does not move during operation, and that limits the fuels that can be burnt.
Multiauto also burns pellets, logging residues, sawdust, wood shavings, peat and residues, and firewood can be added by hand together with chips or pellets. IDRO also burns pellets, bark, logging residues, sawdust, waste wood, energy crops, residues and crops.
06Fuel stores
In wood chip heating the fuel takes up space. That is why the chip store and the feed system are planned together with the boiler, to suit your site and your chips.

Biotherm Heat · Fuel store for wood chips
The spring arms move the chips in towards the screw, which feeds them on to the boiler.

Biotherm Heat · Fuel store for wood chips
Wedge-shaped scrapers, driven by hydraulics, move the chips forward to the cross screw.

Biotherm Heat · Fuel store for wood chips
A store with a steel frame and roof, where the chips stay dry. The size is adapted to your needs.
A feed screw takes the chips from the store to a sealed rotary valve, and the stoker screw carries them on into the boiler. The rotary valve and the sprinkler, which is required in Sweden, protect against burn-back.
The feed systemA spring agitator holds up to 180 m³ and is 2–6 m in diameter, usually 3 or 4 m. A 500 m³ scraper-floor store holds roughly a year's chips for a 250 kW boiler.
Size your fuel storeThe store can be built into the heating plant, as in Biobox ALL INclusive with 17–30 m³. The chips can also arrive in containers, with an intermediate store that keeps the feed going while a container is exchanged.
The store in the heating plantDo you have wood residues and pallets? The Shredder tears them up, and a conveyor can carry the material on to the chip store.
07Applications
Chips from your own forest on the farm, a boiler room of its own in the property or residual products in industry – the boiler is chosen to suit the need.
Multiauto for the farm, preferably with chips from your own forest. On one farm, an IDRO 300 kW heats the buildings, the machine shed and the grain dryer.
IDRO 300 kW on a farmMultiauto for housing, schools and premises with a boiler room of their own. As the need grows, several boilers are connected in cascade.
About MultiautoIDRO for industry, preferably with its own residual products as fuel. An IDRO 500 kW heats a concrete factory, and two IDRO 400 kW a packaging company.
About IDROHot air from AERO or LATherm wood chips for greenhouses, stables and drying, for example of grain and hay.
About LATherm wood chips08References
Six real wood chip installations – boilers, hot air, a heating plant and a fuel store – with facts about each. You will find more among the projects.

PelleTech IDRO · 300 kW
A PelleTech IDRO 300 kW fires wood chips on a farm. The boiler heats the buildings and the machine shed – and supplies heat to the grain dryer.

PelleTech IDRO · 500 kW
A PelleTech IDRO 500 kW fires wood chips for a factory that makes concrete products. The heat goes both to the premises and to production, and the chips are fed from a scraper-floor store.

PelleTech IDRO · 2 × 400 kW
Two PelleTech IDRO 400 kW boilers fire wood chips for a packaging company. Each boiler is fed by its own screw, and the boilers have built-in electrostatic filters, so the boiler room can be kept small.

Biobox ALL INclusive · 400 kW
The boiler room and the fuel store are in the same building. The store holds approx. 30 m³ and is filled through the hydraulic roof hatch, and an industrial-grade spring agitator feeds anything from pellets to wood chips and industrial chips.

Hot air · 750 kW
A 750 kW hot-air boiler for wood chips, built as a complete, movable unit. The heat is exchanged indirectly, so the air that is blown out is kept separate from the flue gases.

Fuel store · Carport
A carport with a steel frame and roof keeps the wood chips dry. It has timber walls on three sides and an open front, and the Shredder alongside turns wood residues into fuel.

More answers about fuels, installation and economics in the FAQ and the knowledge base.
The price is calculated case by case, because it depends on the output, the type of boiler, the fuel store and feed system, the accumulator tank, the boiler room and how much of the installation we do. That is why we start with a free heat-load calculation and then send a quotation for your plant.
The heat itself costs approx. SEK 0.30/kWh with bought-in chips and SEK 0.15–0.20/kWh with chips from your own forest.
We work that out in the heat-load calculation. Our wood chip boilers range from 20 kW – Multiauto in seven versions up to 200 kW – to 4.6 MW with four IDRO 1,150 kW in cascade.
Count on roughly two cubic metres of chips per kW of boiler output a year, up to three with poorer chips. A 100 kW boiler therefore uses around 200 m³ of chips a year. Actual consumption depends on the quality and moisture content of the chips.
It depends on the output and how often you want to fill it. A spring agitator holds up to 180 m³ and is 2–6 m in diameter, usually 3 or 4 m. A scraper-floor store holds up to 500 m³ – roughly a year's chips for a 250 kW boiler.
The store can also be built into a heating plant, or be a carport where the chips stay dry.
Wood chips of size P16S and P31S (G50+). The PelleTech boilers handle up to 40 % moisture content, Multiauto 30–40 % depending on fuel. Coarser chips work with larger screws, and the BU wood chip burner handles chips up to P45S.
For extremely moist chips there is the Biotherm burner, which also burns horse manure with up to 60 % moisture content.
Yes. Multiauto burns wood chips and pellets as well as logging residues, sawdust, wood shavings, peat and residues, and firewood can be added by hand together with chips or pellets. IDRO also burns pellets, bark, logging residues, sawdust, waste wood, energy crops, residues and crops – with bio-oil as backup in the same boiler body.
A boiler room – an existing one, a container or a ready-built heating plant – a chip store with a feed system, an accumulator tank of around 20–30 litres per kW and a chimney. The feed system needs a sealed rotary valve and a sprinkler against burn-back, which is required in Sweden.
We design in 3D and 2D with plumbing and electrical drawings and take care of installation, commissioning and training – or local plumbing and electrical contractors install to the drawings.
Yes, if it is an industrial boiler for hot water, steam or thermal oil. The PelleTech BU wood chip burner, 200 kW–2.2 MW in eight sizes, connects to the boiler and replaces the oil or gas burner. We supply the fuel store and the feed system around it.
Yes. We build heating plants of 200 kW–2 MW in our own workshop: standard, timber-built, container plants or Biobox ALL INclusive with a built-in store of 17–30 m³. They are built around PelleTech IDRO or AERO and tested and fine-tuned before delivery.
For mobile hot air there is LATherm wood chips in a container, 150–750 kW.
Yes, as construction and rental heating: 200–1,000 kW, water-based heating or hot air, the whole plant or parts of it. The agreement is adapted to the installation, the rental period and the availability of fuel.
The boiler ignites, feeds, cleans itself and discharges the ash automatically. You top up the fuel and empty the ash. A major service is needed once or twice a year, preferably with a service agreement. We service plants all over Sweden, including other makes.
Look at the grate – a moving stepped grate handles wetter and dirtier chips than a fixed one – at the feed system and burn-back protection, at automatic cleaning and ash discharge, and at who provides service, documentation and support after delivery.
Plan the fuel logistics as well: how the chips are delivered, stored and fed to the boiler.
