Ranheat WA150
The Ranheat WA150 is the perfect machine for workshops to start automating the disposal of their wood waste. Capable of burning both virgin wood and man-made board in a variety of forms including chipboard, MDF, and OSB. Burning dust, chips and shavings. It available in with a Bagloader feeding system and fully automatic feeding system.
The Ranheat WA150 has the capacity to dispose of 0.5-4tons of wood waste a week in an automatic configuration and can heat 1500m2 (15000ft2).
The WA 150 Bagloader can have as little as one year return on investment depending on your current costs. The savings come from getting rid of wood disposal and skip costs, reduction or elimination of heating gas or electric heating bills.
Dust collected by your dust extraction system can be burnt directly by feeding dust into the bagloader. Depending on feed rate and burner output, a bag of dust will last for around 2 hours before requiring another bag. Small off cuts can be fed in the front.
The bagloader is ideal for businesses just starting to make use of their waste and has a much lower capital cost compared to an automatic system, while still being able to burn dust. WA 150 Bagloader system can also be upgraded at a later date to a fully automatic system by attaching a silo and conveying system.
The Bag Loader is a simple method of supplying fuel to the burner. The lid is lifted, and a bag of machine wood waste is emptied into the container. The lid contains a safety switch that cuts out the motor and stops all moving parts. This safety feature allows safe operation of the Bag Loader. The fuel is then transferred, via the auger to the burner.
The motor is attached to the auger via chain and sprockets, these need to be checked periodically, as do the bearings. The Bag Loader must be monitored to ensure that it doesn’t run empty and that it must be switched off when not in use or left overnight. Only granulated or machine waste dust can be placed in the Bag Loader. Small offcuts may be introduced in the front door.
The Bag Loader is for customers in the woodworking industry with bagged or binned dust extraction systems and require a save method of burning their wood dust but do not have enough scale for require a silo with an automatic feed into a burner.
No, the Bag Loader feed mechanism allow the safe and clean burning of wood dust without the need to spend labour and electricity to make briquettes.
A bag of dust around 0.5m3 will run the system for 2 hours. So, assume 20 hours a week of constant running is around 0.5tons. If you are wanting to burn more waste than this is might be worth looking at a siloed system with an automatic feed. This will give you greater throughput, automation, and labour saving.

If you find you need greater heating consistency and throughput in the future, Ranheat can retro fit a silo, full WA 150 control panel and transfer system. This reuses the fire chamber, heat exchanger, flue gas cleaning and chimney.
The WA 150 Bagloader is a lot cheaper than an automatic system but has the same output and build quality of our other systems. The system with enough spare parts and regular services can effectively last forever. We offer service and support contracts to keep Industrial Biomass heater working as well as it did on day 1.
