Fuel Storage Bins
|
One of the keys to making a wood-fired energy system operate reliably and continuously is ensuring that an uninterrupted and automatic supply of fuel is always available to the system. The Wellons silo-type fuel storage bin was developed specifically to handle and deliver a wide variety of wood fuels to the energy system at a controlled rate.
When using a combination of fuel types, multiple bins can be supplied. With multiple bins, fuel from a dry bin
is metered and blended with fuel from a wet bin to obtain an optimal mix for delivery to the furnace.
