I will write about this Windhager PuroWIN60 wood chip boiler the next couple months.
Hopefully I'm finding the time to stay on top of this thread:)
It's being installed at a sawmill in NH to provide heat for two vacuum kilns and some shop heat
The first batch of pictures is the on-site assembly of the PuroWIN60, location of wood chip discharge inside wood chip bin and positioning of chip boiler. The certification process of this Windhager PuroWIN is being heavily delayed by the pandemic but we finally see the end of the tunnel of UL and EPA testing/certification

Update on progress.
As this is a self-install by our customer, progress depends on other work that has priority.
Thermal storage tank is in place.
The wood chip bin start to take shape.
