Room deaeration
The conveying air used to blow the pellets into the pellet silo must be allowed to escape
during filling by opening a window or door.
A cross-sectional area of at least 200 cm² or rather according to the VDI guideline 3464 is
necessary for this purpose. Windows, unused chimneys and openings in the masonry are
permissible for this purpose.
Caution required when venting lines > 5 m. Artificial ventilation necessary -
according to VDI guideline 3464 using a fan.
The conveying air escapes through the fabric on the top of the silo. Thus, no exhaust system
for the conveying air is needed when aerating the Flexilo FLAT BOTTOM.
Only on customer request the Flexilo FLAT BOTTOM
for wood pellets can be supplied with
a filling line and an exhaust air line in case of rooms without exhaust air or in specific cases.
But from the technical aspect this is not necessary and gives no advantage.
Please provide for a power connection for the suction blower when installing a suction line.
This can also be combined with an automatic shut-off function for the heating system.
In such a case, be sure to observe the separate filling instructions for A.B.S.
silos for wood pellets.

Size / Storage Volume
The storage area / the pellet storage should contain an annual need of pellets.
Thus the need for supply in winter at higher prices is avoided. At the same time requirements
are created to empty the storage and carry out cleaning work during the summer months.
