Janfire NH wood pellet boiler

The Janfire NH (No Hands) pellet burner is manufactured by Janfire AB, the producer of the world’s most reliable pellet burners. The burner has a sophisticated control system which allows the contractor and the end-user to configure many attributes of the burner’s behavior to arrive at just the right settings for your application.

Using premium or super premium pellets ash production is 1% of ash weight, or less, and the burner bowl in this top fed burner is kept clean through an automated ashscraping cycle. The cycle period can be configured to accommodate the characteristics of the pellets you’re burning.

Ash removal intervals in systems using the Janfire NH vary with pellet characteristics and quantity burned.  High quality pellets without contamination from non-combustible inorganic material, such as silica, produce fine, powdery ash at 1% or less of the weight of pellets burned. The ash is composed primarily of minerals left behind when the wood burns and is a fine nutrient for gardens and lawns.

The burner’s automatic self-cleaning and rapid restart make for effective domestic hot water production.  View the pellet burner in action.
