Storage room with masonry walls
The lorries that deliver your year's supply of pellets can blow them into the storage room from a distance of up to 30 metres. Ideally, your pellet store will be on an exterior wall. It does not need to be right next to the boiler room. Thanks to Windhager's innovative, dust-free suction system, hallways and rooms can be bridged with no problem.
Benefits of the 8-probe suction solution:
- Cost and time savings for storage room sloping floors*
- At least 1/3 more space in the storage room
- The position of the storage room is independent of that of the boiler room
- Up to 8 removal probes make the system incredibly reliable
- Patented, completely maintenance-free system
- Possible to employ two separate storage rooms
Pellet rules of thumb
| Storage room | Energy content |
| 650 kg pellets = 1 m³ storage volume | 1 kg pellets = 4.9 kWh |
| Store room dimensions without inclined supports in room = building heat load in kW x 0.75 = annual storage room requirement in m³ | 2 kg pellets = 1 l of EL heating oil = 1 m³ natural gas |
| Store room dimensions with inclined supports in room = building heat load in kW x 0.9 = annual storage room requirement in m³ | 3 m³ pellets = 1,000 l of EL heating oil = 1,000 m³ natural gas |
Customised pellet suction systems
| 1 probe | 3 probes | 8 probes | |
| Configuration recommendation | Square storage room with masonry walls, up to 4 m² | Rectangular storage room with masonry walls, up to 6 m² | Storage room with masonry walls, at least 4 m², 2 separate storage areas (zones) | Special storage room configurations: e.g. L-shaped |
| Inclined floor | Often a good idea | Often a good idea | Not usually necessary |
| Safety function | Automatic, agitation | Automatic, "Flushing and changing over" | Automatic, "Flushing and changing over" |
| Reliable suction up to | 25m | 25m | 25m |
| Pellet store dimensions | Heat load in kW x 0.9 = storage room volume in m³ | Heat load in kW x 0.9 = storage room volume in m³ | Heat load in kW x 0.75 = storage room volume in m³ |

Sheet steel tank - SBT
The storage alternative for damp rooms
A sheet steel tank is suited for pellet storage in damp storage rooms and can be set up directly in the boiler room as it is made entirely of galvanised sheet steel.
The advantages:
- Flexible adaptation to circumstances* (22 types and up to approx. 10 Meter³)
- Can be installed directly in the boiler room (maintain legal specifications and distances)
- High stability and mechanical strength
- Ideal for damp installation rooms
Fabric tank - get speed
The storage alternative for damp rooms
A fabric tank is another solution for damp installation rooms. The height-adjustable frame construction and conical base are also made of galvanised sheet steel. The resistant outer shell is made of anti-static plastic fabric.
The advantages:
- Flexible height adjustment from 1.8 to 2.5 metres
- Available in 7 sizes (up to 9 tonnes in volume)
- Can be installed directly in the boiler room (maintain legal specifications and distances)
- Long service life thanks to galvanised frame construction and durable, anti-static plastic fabric
- Ideal for damp installation rooms
- Super quick installation involving just a few screw connections
Buried and outdoor tanks
For outdoor storage
If there is no space available in the house or basement, the compacted wood granules can also be stored in a plastic tank buried in the garden or installed outside.
Available sizes
Buried tanks are available in several sizes and can be obtained from our partner company GEOplast. You can find more information here!
Benefits
- Store solution for use outside the building
- Dry, secure pellet storage regardless of weather
- Buried tanks with a 6-tonne capacity (on request)
- Outdoor tank with a 1.7-tonne capacity (on request)
