Silo for pellets and resistance screed




by bnohit » 28/01/12, 11:17

Hello,

An installation of Okofen pellet boiler is planned in my new construction.
With this installation, I would like a space-saving textile silo (Flexilo compact type) with a capacity of around 5t, near my boiler.

The complete installation (boiler + silo) is planned in my basement. The basement slab was poured in 12cm concrete, with reinforcement of welded mesh (a standard garage in short).

Do you think that this concrete slab is sufficient to support the load of 5t once my silo is full? I still think of putting "skids" in metal, a little wider than the feet of the silo in order to distribute the load ... is this in your opinion sufficient?

No recommendation on the subject is specified on the Okofen website ... :frown:

Thank you for your help ! :D

According to what I see on the site ökofen, this type of silo is a pocket covering the entire surface between the legs: in these conditions no problem, the load is distributed.

Thank you Ahmed :D

Indeed, the concept is this: a big bag that protects on 4 feet.

I could read everywhere, that a standard concrete garage slab, was planned to support a load of 250Kg / m2 (I find that really little, even for a large car : Shock:).

In other words, if I consider a 5t silo spread over 4 feet, that still gives me a load of 1,25t per foot, doesn't it? A foot having a section <1m2, I find myself therefore, well above the mechanical constraints tolerated by my concrete slab? ... I'm wrong somewhere : roll: ?

Thank you for your explanations.

Hi, a quick question, how much does your silo cost?

because I can see the use of bigbag it's almost free as flexible storage

From what I understand, the bottom of the bag is on the floor and the weight seems only partially supported by the feet.
The strength of concrete also depends on the strength of the soil on which it is poured.

The idea of ​​the big-bag seems to me to dig: the bulk materials are now sold in lost bags. A light peripheral structure will allow them to be kept open ... 8)

For the price, I don't have a quote yet (but I guess it obviously shouldn't be given :frown: !).

Regarding the bigbag, it is a big bag of only one ton ... far from my 5 tons to spend the year quiet. But suddenly I have the impression that we are deviating a bit from my original question :(

it's not the capacity the concern, you take 5 big (1250 of potato)
about two cubic meters.

my patatiers use pallets called converters.

-12 cm of reinforced concrete that should not be a problem (if good hedgehog below).
-The textile silo has an opening at the bottom for supplies ... not the big bags.
- At 1990 € the Okofen textile silo, I chose to build a permanent silo (around 200 €).

Continually trying we finally succeed. So more it fails, the more likely it is that it works.

of course the big guys have an opening at the bottom, otherwise we could not empty the potatoes.
