With a
PELVAC
sytem you are able to transport pellets around corners, through walls, and at distances upto 15 meters.
In short, you can transport your pellets in a multitude of ways that are difficult or impossible with auger conveyance.
1.1 Contents:
PELVAC contains the following:
- Vacuum unit with controller, cyclone, ‘air locking’ rotary valve, and capacitive sensor
- 2.0 m Extraction Auger.
- 2.5 m Vacuum Hose.
- Wall Mount for Vacuum Unit
1.2 Pellet Storage:
If constructing your own pellet storage tank, make sure the sides of the tank are greater than 45 degrees.
1.3 Big Bags:
The PELVAC system can also extract pellets out of a 1 ton big bag. (Note: requires extra equipment.
1.4 Wood Pellet Fines:
Wood pellet fines can be a big problem. Fines prevents the pellets from moving easily and; therefore, increases the risk
that a wood pellet bridge or mound is created along the sides of the the extraction auger opening. This prevents the
pellets from droping down easily into the spiral. In contrast, good wood pellets, with minimal fines, will roll down easily
to the auger.
1.5 Dust:
Moving pellets with a vacuum is naturally noisy; however, you can minimize the impact of this noise by for example
setting the timer to run during the day while you are at work, and eliminate running the system during the evening.
1.6 Wood pellets:
PELVAC can handle woode pellets with max 35mm length, 8mm diameter, and with a max fines percentage of 1%.
1.7 Electrical Consumption:
PELVAC uses approximately 10 kWh / ton vacuum transported.
1.8 Extraction Auger:
The extraction auger is built with an electric motor that rotates the spiral ensuring a controlled flow of pellets that
minimizes pipe blockage.
