Woodmaster BioMax

TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 2010
January 26, 2010 - Commercial operations can now more affordably convert to biomass heat with a WoodMaster BioMax
boiler system. The 12 BioMax boiler models use wood chips and/or wood pellets to heat water, which in turn heats most
heating systems for any size and scope of buildings and grounds.
"BioMax systems help business owners, government firm and other organization leaders control their heat budget with
domestic fuel so they're not at the mercy of fluctuating gas and oil prices," says Chuck Gagner, President of Northwest
Manufacturing, Red Lake Falls, Minn., which develops and markets WoodMaster furnaces and other products.
"Wood pellets and wood chips are carbon neutral sources, so BioMax systems help businesses stay ahead of tightening
environmental regulations," he continues. "These sources are more affordable than other conventional commercial boiler
systems' fuels, and each BioMax creates more continuous, usable heat for great efficiency at less cost."
The full line of BioMax boilers ranges from 130 - 2,000 kW (up to 6.8 million Btu), plus a customizable control system and
user friendly display board. For companies without space for a biomass boiler, WoodMaster has prefabricated boiler rooms.
The company also offers expert, certified installation from its North American dealer network. The BioMax boiler systems are
proven boilers that have been brought to the United States from a partnership of Northwest Manufacturing and ABioNova in
Sweden.
BioMax boiler systems are currently on display at AHR Expo Booth #5069.
Northwest Manufacturing is a privately-owned company based in Red Lake Falls, Minnesota. The company develops,
manufacturers and markets WoodMaster BioMax boilers, wood, wood chip, corn/pellet and Flex Fuel furnaces, plus
replacement parts for most outdoor furnace brands. It also distributes HeatLink systems, including in-floor heat, and Pellet
Grills. For more information about the company and its products, visit http://www.woodmaster.com/.

Maintenance on the Harman P68 in Ashokan

The Ashokan Center staff today reported that they needed to perform a clean out of the igniter area under the burn ramp of the Harman P68 to get the stove to fire properly. This sort of maintenance is not unheard of, but may be needed more frequently with grass pellets, due to higher ash content and less fly ash.

The Ashokan Center has had good luck with the Harman P68 thus far having used it for about 1 1/2 months on a low setting.

As soon as we know more about what they did to clean it, we'll pass it on.
