Attack Pellet Brake – Pellet brake for safe pellet supply

Brief description

The Attack Pellet Brake is a specially designed safety brake for pellet heating systems, installed between the auger and the burner. It regulates the pellet flow and forms a reliable barrier against backdraft from the burner back into the conveying system or the pellet storage.

How it works

Depending on the design, the pellet brake operates mechanically, thermally, or water-based: mechanical flaps or barriers block the flame's return path, thermal elements react to overheating and close automatically, and water-based systems suppress the flame through a water lock or injection. The brake is often part of a larger system that includes a screw conveyor and a drop chute.

Areas of application and compatibility

The brake is designed for pellet boilers, especially ATTACK brand models, and is suitable for systems with automatic pellet feed from external storage facilities such as silos or pellet chambers. It can be integrated into new buildings or retrofitted into existing conveying systems, provided the connection dimensions and construction are compatible.

Advantages

With the Attack Pellet Brake, operators significantly increase the operational reliability of their system because it prevents backdrafts and thus avoids damage to the auger, bearings, and boiler. The solution is robust, requires little maintenance, and contributes to compliance with relevant safety requirements in heating systems.

Technical notes

The pellet brake is installed between the auger and the burner; suitable connection diameters, adequate air and thermal insulation, and appropriate mounting distances are essential. Different designs (mechanical/thermal/water-based) each have specific requirements for installation and operation.

Installation and maintenance

Installation should be carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions or by a qualified professional to ensure correct sealing, alignment, and electrical/thermal connections. Maintenance includes regular visual inspections, cleaning of deposits, functional tests of moving parts, and timely replacement of thermal fuses when worn.

Safety and standards

The pellet brake is part of the safety equipment of pellet heating systems and supports compliance with European standards and regulations for automatic pellet conveying and boilers. Additionally, fire safety measures such as fire protection distances, flue gas routing, and proper pellet storage must be observed.

Conclusion/Recommendation

The Attack Pellet Brake is a worthwhile investment for operators of automatic pellet heating systems who value reliable backfire protection and a long system lifespan. For selection and installation, it is recommended to consult with the boiler manufacturer or a heating specialist to ensure maximum safety and functionality.
