Biomass heating Schörgerer
The heart of the biomass heating system is the 2x 200 KW wood chip furnace. The furnace works fully automatically and produces 80 degrees hot water with the heating of forest chips.
The objects are networked with district heating pipes and are thus supplied with hot buffer water. The hot water is used to charge the buffer tanks. These, in turn, feed the heating circuits in the houses and generate pleasantly warm domestic water with the help of hot water modules. Once it has cooled down in the boiler house, the water is reheated in the return flow and sent on its way again.
Facts
- Previously consumed about 95,000 lt. of fuel oil
- Now there are about 1100 bulk cubic meters of forest chips
- 440 solid cubic meters or 30 trucks of domestic firewood
- The energy is read with a district heating meter
- At about 950 megawatts per year, we save about 20% on heating costs
We heat green - with our wood chip heating Schörgerer!

Grander water
It influences metabolism as well as cell function. We Penzinghofers share the philosophy of Johann Grander 100%!
Water is not only essential for life, it is also a means of well-being and beauty. It cleanses from the inside, boosts metabolism and strengthens the body’s defense system. Conscious drinking behavior improves well-being and increases performance.
It is worth drinking water even before you feel thirsty – 2 liters and more per day. Water does not contain calories, but it consumes them. Water is essential for physical & mental well-being.
