Photos ökofen pellet boiler: installation and storage

[mulder181]

thanks for his

question:
Do you have to have an outlet for air with a textile silo when filling?
am i clear enough? a pipe leaving the silo to the outside for dust)

please

Hello, The photo report is very interesting!

I plan to do the same at home and I am on the plans of the silo,

Then a question:
does anyone have the precise dimensions of the auger without drawing (especially the diameter and size at the bottom of the silo).

I might have more later!

Thank you in advance !

hello, no because the fabric silo lets through air but not dust.

okofen sells textile silos that you can put outside, the feet are adjustable so you can put a plate above,
after you meter plates on each side and turn and play

@tetene,

I must have a piece of plan that I had to keep with.
I'm watching this tonight.
the only really important dimension is the height between the ground and the slot in the tube. height where your floor should arrive, although it is not very serious if it arrives below.
a posteriori, I even tell myself that it would be almost better.
indeed there is always a percentage of sawdust with the pellets and it is not good for the boiler. so if the floor is lower than the tube, the sawdust will accumulate at the bottom.

otherwise, in my installation, I made a flat floor and not a hopper as indicated.
first reason: it's complicated to do and you have to do it solid because there is weight on it.
secondly: it is useless: who is going to empty his silo to the last kilos ?? person.
my flat floor means I have two "triangles" of pellets which are never used. it is a kind of reserve and if ever a year, there is a delay in delivery or that I forget to have it delivered, etc., and that I arrive at the "end" of the silo, I just have to enter the silo and bring back to the center a few shovelfuls of pellets.
think about it!

Thank you I look forward to it.

Anyway, I have to make a floor, whether it is inclined or not whatever.

@tetene

then I found the doc supplied with the screw, there are bits of plan but no dimension.
the length of the screw is variable (there are several models)
for the height, I just measured, the slits near the pellet are 12cm from the ground.
I made my flat floor by simply laying concrete blocks of 10cm on the side (spaced) and placed on a 22mm waterproof agglo floor (simple)
what other info do you need?
do you have a bent screw directly connected to the boiler or a suction?

@dirk pitt

Thank you for the info !
And what is the width of the screw?

Yes it will be with an angled screw.

Thank you

[dirk pitt]

that I cannot measure! it's under 4 tonnes of pellets
with a ladle, the tube is 8cm in diameter. there are flanges which serve as a tab at the 2 ends and 1 in the middle which must be 15cm but are thin (approx 2cm with the bolts)
the hat is wider but it is above
what is more painful to do is crossing the bulkhead of the screw because it has to be both waterproof and solid.
