Akron - Flexible Storage Plant for Solid Biofuel
Akron has extensive experience with storage solutions for solid biofuel, e g wood chips and pellets. The solutions for pellets encompass welded and painted silos delivered ready for use as well as galvanised silos for assembly on site. All silos have 60° outlet hoppers and integrated filling arrangement. Larger silos are delivered with explosion relief valves as standard. Over the years, literally hundreds of small and medium-sized heating plants have been fitted with Akron silos.
The Akron wood chip hopper solution was originally developed for daily fuel storage for our wood chip-fired air heater Bio400, but can of course be used also with other boilers. The hopper is based on Akron`s classic Type M storage solution for grain, with painted corner posts and galvanised corrugated wall elements for assembly on site. A flexible module system allows for different heights of the hopper, all with a powerful rotary agitator in the hopper bottom and centre-less feed auger for safe fuel transport.
Development in the solid biofuel area is progressing continuously. Thanks to the wide scope of products in Akron`s other business areas, we can deliver highly specialised solutions for specific needs. Please contact us directly for more information.
