The ideal pellet store

Requirements

The ideal pellet store is dry, offers sufficient room for a year's supply of pellets and is located on an exterior wall. A fire protection door ensures maximum safety.

The lorries that deliver a year's supply of pellets can blow them into the storage room from a distance of up to 30 metres. Ideally, a 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.

Eight-probe suction solution

More storage space (1/3 and more)
Saves time and money
Safe and maintenance free

Pellet rules of thumb

Storage room	Energy content
650 kg pellets = 1 m³ storage volume	1 kg pellets = 4.9 kWh
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

Patented pellet suction system

	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, min. 4 m² 2 separate stores (zones), special shapes for storage rooms: e.g. L-shaped
Inclined floor	Often a good idea	Usually a good idea	Usually not necessary
Safety function	Automatic, agitation	Automatic, "Rinsing and changing over"	Automatic, "Rinsing and changing over"
Suction power ensured	up to 25 m	up to 25 m	up to 25 m
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

Modular kit system

The modular and economical steel sheet inclined floor only consists of three basic elements::

Vertical support 0.5 m
Cover plate 0.5 m
Cover plate for extension to 1 m sloping surfaces

Optional: Front cover plates 0.5 m and 1 m

Advantages

Easy installation - just arrange and screw into place!
Custom-fit solution for all storage room sizes
Simple, self-explanatory construction with only three basic elements
Galvanised sheet steel ensures easy sliding of pellets and a long service life
Tested stability up to a room height of 3 meters
Standard cut-out for suction pipe feed-through

Sheet steel hopper

Alternative solution for damp spaces

A sheet steel hopper is suited for pellet storage in damp spaces and can be installed directly in the boiler room as it is made entirely of galvanised sheet steel sections.

Advantages

Flexible adaptation to circumstances1) (22 types and up to approx. 10 tonnes in volume)
Can also be installed directly in the boiler room (legal specifications and distances must be maintained)
High stability and mechanical strength
Ideal for damp installation rooms

Fabric hopper

Alternative solution for damp spaces

A fabric hopper is another solution for damp installation rooms. The height-adjustable frame construction and conical base are also made of galvanised sheet steel. The outer shell is made of anti-static plastic fabric.

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 (must 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
