What Are the Technical Features of the QAÏTO Q30 Pellet Burner?

Product Description

Below are the detailed technical features of the QAÏTO Q30 pellet burner, entirely designed and manufactured in France.

This model is currently the best-selling burner in the QAÏTO® range, recognized for its performance, quality materials, and simplicity of installation.
The QAÏTO concept was awarded a Gold Medal at the prestigious Lépine Contest.

1. Structure and Components

The QAÏTO Q30 pellet burner is composed of three main elements:

1. A cast iron burner with an oval shape (also called the crucible or pellet basket).

2. An oval stainless steel jacket, serving as circular protection.

3. A rectangular stainless steel floor plate, also called the hearth plate.

2. Cast Iron Burner Specifications

Dimensions:

• Height: 115 mm

• Internal / external width: 223 mm / 253 mm

• Internal / external length: 310 mm / 340 mm

Weight: 6.10 kg ± 5 %
Material: GL 220 cast iron (used for fireplaces and wood stoves)
Pellet capacity: between 3.5 and 3.7 kg

Design:
The crucible is made of lamellar cast iron and perforated with 5 mm slots, allowing combustion air to circulate without letting whole pellets (6 mm diameter) pass through.

Recommendation:
Depending on your air intake and installation, adjust the pellet load (3.5 to 3.7 kg) for optimal air flow and complete combustion.

3. Stainless Steel Jacket Specifications

Dimensions:

• Diameter / width: 254 mm

• Length: 322 mm

• Height: 110 mm

• Stainless steel thickness: 2 mm

Material: Stainless steel 304

Design:
A few millimeters of spacing between the jacket and the burner allow air circulation all around the cast iron, optimizing heat diffusion.
The front lug of the jacket fits into the opening on the side of the rectangular floor plate.

4. Rectangular Stainless Steel Floor Plate

Dimensions:

• Width: 280 mm

• Length: 360 mm

• Height: 2 mm

Design:
This plate is placed over the air inlet of your fireplace or stove. It includes a central opening of 120 mm in diameter, allowing combustion air to feed the burner efficiently.

5. General Technical Summary

• Net weight: 8.10 kg

• Total height (installed): 130 mm (13 cm)

• Recommended clearance: leave 15 to 20 cm between the top of the burner and the stove’s upper part to facilitate refilling and prevent burns.

When properly installed, the QAÏTO Q30 produces vivid flames and gentle, long-lasting warmth.

6. Power and Combustion Duration

Energy output:

• 1 kg of pellets = 4.6 kW

• 3.5 kg of pellets ≈ 16 kW

• 3.7 kg of pellets ≈ 17 kW

Important:
The available heat within the crucible differs from the overall efficiency of your stove. Efficiency depends on the setup and can vary between installations.

Performance durations:

• Combustion: ≈ 90 minutes ± 15 %

• Flame duration: 30 to 40 minutes (depending on air flow)

• Heat retention: several hours, thanks to the cast iron mass

Note: these values may vary depending on the home, setup, and use conditions.

7. Advantages of the QAÏTO Q30 Pellet Burner

• Safe ignition and clean combustion

• Economical and ecological: consumes about 2 kg of pellets per hour (≈ €0.66 per load)

• Clean: keeps the fireplace and glass free from residue

• High efficiency: rapid temperature rise

• Fast ignition: up to three times faster than firewood

• Ease of installation: fits into most fireplaces or wood stoves without any construction work or electrical connection
