Our Hotties start as wood chips with a 50% moisture content.

A grinder then breaks the chips down into smaller wood particles.

A biomass boiler heats air to 400°C and powers the dryer.

This dryer tosses the chips and ensures an 8% moisture content.

The wood particles are taken from the dryer and fed in a hopper.

They then go into an extruder before being compressed at 350°C

This melts lignin in the wood and binds Hotties together naturally.

Hotties are cut to 200mm, dropped on a conveyor belt and packaged.
