Mechanical durability tester Bioenergy TUMBLER 1000 and 3000 acc. EN 15210-1

The series of pellets mechanical durability testers Bioenergy

TUMBLER meets all requirements of the new European
standard EN 15210-1 "method for determination of
mechanical durability of pellets. This is required as a
reference method for determination of the mechanical
durability or the abrasion for testing laboratories. The
Bioenergy TUMBLER was tested in an international laboratory
comparison test and is calibrated with appropriate reference
materials, which ensures the reproducibility of the analytical
results in your laboratory or in your production.

Sampling spear 1300 x 55mm, Aluminium ALMG3 F20 acc. EN 14778

The sampling spear is particularly suitable for the sampling of

stationary, free-flowing biomass with a nominal top size smaller
than 25 mm and is mainly used for sampling of wood pellets, other
biomass pellets and corn kernels from tanks, storage rooms or
vehicles.
The sampling spear meets the requirements of EN 14778 "Solid
biofuels - Sampling" where the sampling process as well as the
sampling equipment is defined.

Moisture content determination humimeter BP1 for pellets

The humimeter is a measurement instrument for rapid moisture content determination of

wood pellets and other biomass pellets. The instrument allows measurement without
sample preparation with very high accuracy by automatic bulk density compensation
within seconds.

Accessories: PC interface, software and printer

Biomass reference materials

Different types of biomass materials range from wood with bark and straw to materials with higher element
contents like seaweed, olive residues or palm bit kernels. The reference materials are dried, prepared
according to EN 14780 (grain size <1mm) and appropriate for immediate analysis. From the available
materials the following chemical parameters are specified: ash, Chlorine, Sulphur, Hydrogen, Carbon,
Nitrogen and major and minor elements (Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Silicium, Cadmium,
Copper, Zinc, Lead, Aluminum).
The available reference materials are:
fir with bark hardwood with glue spanish thistle
