OPERATING PRINCIPLE
PELLBOX SCF is a pellet-fired insert that manages
pellet combustion electronically.
The fuel (pellets) is taken from the storage hopper (A)
and delivered to the combustion chamber (D) by a
screw feeder (B) driven by a gearmotor (C).
The pellets are ignited by hot air produced by a
heating element (E) which is drawn into the
combustion chamber by a centrifugal fan (F).
The combustion smoke produced is drawn out of the
firebox by the same centrifugal fan (F), and expelled
from the nozzle (G) at the bottom rear of the insert.
Air is blown into the hollow space at the back of the
firebox by a fan (H), where it is heated before coming
out into the room from the front grille (I) and into an
adjoining room through appropriate piping (fig. along
side).
The amount of fuel and the smoke
extraction/combustion air supply are controlled by an
electronic circuit board (L) in order to achieve highly
efficient fuel consumption.
A display-control panel (M) is fitted on the front
under the door which allows all the operating stages to
be managed and displayed.
The same steps can be managed using the remote
control.
The pellet hopper is at the top of the insert.
The hopper is filled through a drawer (N) found at the
front above the hopper itself.
The internal structure of the insert is completely made
of cast iron.
Use the cold grip provided (component 44 in the
exploded view) to open the insert door.
Fit the two air circulation
g
rilles (36 x 9 cm)
provided on the front and/or right side of the
fireplace (looking from the front).
NOTES on fuel.
Pellbox SCF is designed to burn pellets.
Pellets are small 6 mm diameter (approx.) fuel cylinders made from sawdust pressed at high pressure without adhesives or other
foreign material.
They are sold in 15 kg bags.
In order NOT to jeopardize insert operation, do NOT burn other substances. The use of other materials (including wood), which
can be detected by laboratory analyses, invalidates the guarantee.
EdilKamin has designed, tested and programmed its products to perform best with pellets with the following characteristics:
diameter: 6 millimetres
maximum length: 40 mm
maximum moisture content: 8%
heat output: 4300 kcal/kg (at least)
If pellets with different characteristics are used, the insert will need recalibrating (similar to the initial calibration carried out by
the TAC - technical assistance centre - upon first ignition).
Use of unsuitable pellets may lead to: a decrease in efficiency; operating anomalies; stoppages due to clogging, dirty glass,
unburnt fuel, etc.
Pellets may be simply analysed just by looking at them.
Good: smooth, regular lengths, not very dusty.
Poor-quality: with horizontal and vertical splits, a lot of dust, highly variable lengths and mixed with foreign matter.
