Pellet Storage

The best solution for a pellet boiler, allowing for easy and convenient pellets handling, is to install a pellet store that is designed to receive pellets delivered by bulk tanker. The pellet store can either be built either outside the house or inside. The pellets will then be transported to the boiler via a special feed systems consisting of a flexible auger inside a tube.

The alternative system for the storage of pellets is to buy them by the bag. Although this is more expensive than purchasing pellets in bulk, it is the main method for the delivery of pellets in the UK at the present time. Purchasing by the bag is the most convenient way of storing pellets to be used in a pellet stove.

Loose pellets are stored in silos and need only slightly more space than the equivalent oil or LPG tank if deliveries are scheduled monthly.
