| 2000kg-6000kg | WA 150 with C28 Silo |
| System | Loading Options |
|---|---|
| WA 150 Bagloader | Dust in the BagLoader offcuts in the front |
| WA 150 with BB-2 | Fed Via one previously Bagged Dust Extraction Unit. |
| WA 150 B10 Silo | Centralised Dust Extraction Unit or Conveying System |
| WA 150 with C28 Silo | Centralised Dust Extraction Unit or Conveying System |
Bin the Briquette machine. The WA 150 BagLoader allows for dust to be loaded via the BagLoader, while offcuts can be fed through the front. This method offers the lowest capital cost for loading and provides scalability for future expansion.
Pros:
Cons:
The WA 150 HoggerLoader is ideal for clients whose waste primarily consists of offcuts, such as sheds, pallets, and structural timber. This system also has the capability to burn dust when fed via dust bags.
Pros:
Cons:
The BB-2 Bunker is the smallest silo option, designed for maximum flexibility. Growing woodworking businesses that are scaling up often have one or multiple bag-emptied dust extraction units. The BB-2 is intended to be retrofitted into factories with these units. With a small amount of buffered storage, a WA 150 with a BB-2 silo can fit well in a tight footprint and has a modest capital cost. The WA-150 can also be upgraded with extra silo storage later, with the BB-2 being part-exchanged. BB-2 silo is also available with a canvas top for customer that require a manual fill.
Pros:
Cons:
The B10 Bunker Silo efficiently manages wood waste. With a capacity of 10m3 and the ability to store over 3 tons, it suits various business sizes. It features a low entry point fitting under most centralised Dust Extraction filters. Great for fitting down the side of existing Factories.
Pros
Cons
This configuration builds the transfer screw into the outfeeder. Perfect for tight spaces. Also available in a B6 Bunker Silo for a shorter configuration.
Pros
Cons
Conical bottomed silos are the most space efficient storage method for storing industrial wood waste. They pack lots of storage volume in a tight footprint. Conveying material into these silos can be as simple as mounting a dust extraction system on top, with or without rotary valve. Or for dust extraction systems with large footprint and conveying system can be used. This can be either pneumatic, screw/auger based or drag conveyor

The Ranheat WA 150 is designed to burn a wide range of wood waste materials, making it a versatile heating solution for woodworking businesses. It can efficiently burn fine wood dust, sawdust, wood shavings, and small offcuts, which are common by-products of joinery workshops, furniture manufacturing, and sawmills. The system is also capable of handling processed board materials, such as MDF, chipboard, and plywood, provided they are burned in accordance with emissions regulations and necessary permits. For operations using dust extraction systems, the WA 150 can integrate seamlessly, ensuring an automatic and consistent fuel supply. Whether used in a manual loading configuration or with an automated BagLoader system, the WA 150 allows businesses to convert wood waste into efficient, cost-effective heating, reducing disposal costs and maximizing sustainability.
Choosing between a Ranheat Warm Air System and a Ranheat Boiler System depends on the heating requirements, fuel handling preferences, and operational needs of the business.
Both systems provide cost-effective, sustainable heating solutions, ensuring businesses can maximize energy efficiency while reducing waste disposal costs.
