pelettejä

Pelettejä is a Finnish term that translates to "pellets" in English. This word can refer to several different types of small, compressed solid materials, depending on the context. Most commonly, it is used to describe fuel pellets, which are biomass fuel formed from organic materials like sawdust, wood chips, agricultural waste, or other plant matter. These fuel pellets are typically cylindrical with a diameter of 6–10 mm and a length of 10–30 mm. They are used for heating in pellet stoves and boilers.

Beyond fuel, "pelettejä" can also refer to other granular materials. For example, in the context of animal feed, it can denote compressed pellets of nutrients designed for livestock or pets. In industry, it might describe small, spherical or cylindrical forms of various substances, such as plastic pellets used as raw material for manufacturing or fertilizer pellets. The specific composition and intended use of the pellets are usually clarified by additional descriptive words in Finnish.
