Commercial woodworking generates a high level of wood waste, the disposal of which can be very expensive. Ranheat draw on over 30 years’ experience to design, build, and supply intelligent biomass boiler and warm air systems, powered by waste wood in all formats from large industrial sites. This is the ideal solution to dealing with your wood waste, saving you money and time. Our systems can handle anything from one to a hundred tonnes of wood waste.
With a Ranheat system you can reduce waste management costs and provide clean, energy efficient heating and hot water for your entire site. We engineer complete, automated, end-to-end biomass solutions with full service support from our expert team in the UK.
As energy demands in woodworking rise, the future of fossil fuels as a cost-effective solution looks increasingly uncertain. Biomass fuelled systems offer a smarter alternative for heating, drying, kilning, finishing, and all the other requirements of busy industrial sites.
Instead of relying on legacy fuel systems, Ranheat can specify biomass space and process heating systems to generate up to 6MW. Your wood waste is converted on-site, saving money on waste disposal, and providing tailored, sustainable energy.
Our biomass boilers, silos, automated hoppers and warm air systems are able to handle all types of wood waste. We can specify systems using off-cuts of hardwood or softwood, MDF, coated or uncoated board, and even dust, to maximise efficiency in wood waste disposal on your site.
All our systems are manufactured in the UK to the highest standards, and provide reliable energy conversion with low overheads.

Using biomass energy instead of fossil fuels can contribute to reducing the overall CO2 footprint of your business. Converting wood waste into biomass energy is a cleaner alternative than oil or gas, with wood absorbing the equivalent carbon dioxide released in emissions during its lifecycle.
Using waste wood on-site for energy reduces associated emissions from transportation too, reducing waste vehicle movements locally and contributing to cleaner air.
There are many financial incentives for biomass systems. Using a Ranheat biomass system means that your fuel is often free or actually a negative cost, as it is waste that would be produced regardless and you no longer have to pay to dispose of it offsite. With gas or oil, or even processed wood such as logs, you would be paying for the fuel itself and for transport. So by using your own wood waste as fuel, you are making two savings straight away. Fossil fuels are also likely to become more expensive over time due to their use being increasingly measured and priced, as governments and industries move towards lower and lower carbon emissions.
The Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme (RHI Scheme) was a UK government environmental programme designed to increase use of renewable heat sources to reduce emissions and meet the UK’s renewable energy targets.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero closed this scheme for new applications at the end of March 2021 (or March 2023 in some specific circumstances). Accredited installations made prior to that date will continue to receive quarterly payments for up to 20 years, as long as the installation is maintained in line with the original RHI contract.
It is sometimes possible to get local authority grants or regional funding schemes for biomass heating systems, though this is dependent on the location and the system.

How can we help?
How much could you save with a Biomass Heating system?
A biomass heating system could be the most efficient way to dispose of your wood waste, whether that is half a ton of wood chippings or four tons of hardwood offcuts. There are also options for financial incentives for biomass heating and boiling systems. Contact us today for a free consultation and no-obligation quote.
No two industrial biomass requirements are identical. We take the time to understand your energy requirements from the ground up. Our skilled and experienced team customise and specify exactly the right biomass solution for each of our customers, to generate the most efficient cost savings and sustainable heating solution for your business.
