The storage room must be designed with sloping floors so that it can be almost completely emptied via the
extraction system used (e.g. screw discharge, probe discharge).
GENERAL NOTES:
•
The angle of the sloping floor must be 45° so that the pellets slide down automatically.
•
The slanted floor should preferably be made of derived timber products with a surface that is as smooth as
possible (e.g. chipboard or coated chipboard. OSB boards tend to have a rough surface).
•
The sloping floor must be able to withstand the static requirements of the weight load from the pellets (density
650 kg/m³).
•
Suitable angle beams are available for the substructure, which facilitate the assembly of the sloping floor.
•
The sloping floor should be made tight enough to the connection to the storage room walls so that no pellets
can trickle into the empty space (these cannot be removed from there).
•
The sloping floor must not reduce the lateral openings between the conveyor channel and the cover during
screw discharge.
WITH SLOPING BOTTOM 45°
- Almost complete emptying depending on pellet quality
- Constant slope angle
WITHOUT SLOPING BOTTOM
- Increasing slope angle

Existing pipelines, drainage pipes, etc. that cannot be removed with reasonable effort and onto which the pellets
could collide during filling must be covered to prevent flow and breakage (e.g. deflector plates). Make sure that the
pellets cannot be damaged by the deflector plate (no rectangular cladding).
