9 PROPER USE OF THE PRODUCT
The fuel storage tank has been designed to be installed for the pneumatic transport of pellets or other
biomass fuels with a medium-fine size.
This product is suitable for the storage of biomass fuel such as pellets, olive pomace, corn.
It cannot store substances that are not biomass fuels and that have excessive or too fine dimen-
sions, sharp or abrasive surfaces or that are easily compactable.
The tank is not predisposed to be loaded by pressure blowing of the fuel inside it, therefore it should not
be loaded by tanker, but only manually or mechanically and only by fall from the loading inlet on the top.
The loading of the tank can be carried out by manual filling of fuel contained in bags or big bags.
Fuel extraction can be made both from the lower and the upper opening by one of the devices in the
catalog.

2- Position the upper and lower joints on the four pillars already assembled using three TTQ M 8
screws as shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2
11 ASSEMBLY
Carefully clean the floor in the work area before starting the tank assembly phases.
Consider that once the tank is fully assembled, it will be difficult to move it, so it is advisable to
carry out the mounting steps near the site where it will be installed.
Make sure that the ceiling of the room in which the tank is assembled and installed has a height
that allows easy loading of the fuel from the upper inlet, it is advisable at least a minimum height
of 280 cm.
1- Proceed with the construction of the steel frame by assembling the two parts that make
up each pillar with four TTQ M 8 screws, using the appropriate jaws as junctions as shown in
figure 1

5 - Repeat the same operation as the number 4 also for the other two pillars
6 - Fit the two halves of the frame already assembled using the four remaining beams. The
two halves should be kept in vertical position, assembling the two lower beams first, as shown
in Figure 6, and then the two remaining upper beams, using the TTQ M 8 screws. For this
operation, it is recommended to use a ladder to reach an appropriate height. Upper beams
should be fixed by interposing them between the reinforcement plates and the joints as shown
in Figure 7
7 - Fix the four long cross connectors for adjustment to the four upper joints by means of the
special hole with the TTQ M 6 screws, as shown in Figure 8, without tightening the nuts exces-
sively in order to allow the cross connectors to move slightly.

12 START UP AND USE
The tank has a Ø 600 mm loading inlet at the top. This inlet has laces in order to be sealed and opened
only during loading operations to avoid the accidental falling of objects and animals into the bag.
After assembly and connection, before filling the tank make sure that:
- there are no foreign bodies inside the fuel bag
- the metal structure is positioned using a spirit level and it is properly connected to a grounding
cable
- all the screws and nuts that make up the metal frame are tightened
- the pillars are well fixed to the floor
- the fabric does not present cuts, unsewing or damages, even if minor
- the fixing clamp of the discharge point is well tight.
The shutter installed in the fuel outlet, has a dual function, in addition to preventing fuel spillage in the
event of maintenance of the offtake system or the underlying pipes, it can also be partially opened
and closed, thus acting as a partialiser.
This adjustment helps in some cases to optimise the amount of fuel in the offtake system and con-
sequently helps to improve the fluidisation of the fuel in the pipes.
The flange at the base of the shutter is perfectly suited to the installation of the fuel withdrawal sys-
tems in our catalogue.
For the first time, just place a small amount of fuel in the storage tank (200/300 kg.) to test the
stability and operation of the tank itself.
After reading also the manuals of all the components of the system, you can start using the tank.
13 MAINTENANCE AND END-OF-LIFE
Before carrying out any maintenance operation on the product, it is obligatory to aerate the
premises in which it is installed for at least 15 minutes. Any maintenance and repair operation
must be carried out by experienced personnel and authorized by the manufacturer.
In the absence of a specific maintenance plan, a complete product inspection is recommended for
each filling of the storage tank. The checks to be carried out periodically are:
- Check with a spirit level that the metal structure is in a perfectly horizontal position as when it was
installed
- check the tightening of all the screws and nuts that make up the metal frame (yearly)
- check fabric conditions verifying that it does not present cuts, unsewing or damages, even if minor
- check the conditions of fabric anchoring ties which must have no abrasions, even if minor
- check the anchorage conditions of the metal structure to the floor (yearly)
It is also advisable to thoroughly clean the fuel storage tank at least annually, in order to avoid dust
accumulation and presence of foreign bodies inside of it.
The presence of animals such as rats, mice, cats, dogs, birds, tarms and so on… and their
behavior inside the storage room where the tank is installed can cause serious damages to
tank fabric.
The tank has a steel structure that is resistant to external agents, but the plastic fabric can
suffer serious damages with low visibility, which could, in the long run, undermine its stability
with consequent danger for people passing near it.
13.1 End-of-life
The disposal of packaging, accessories and machine must be executed in
accordance with applicable laws, ensuring the recycling of any of the core
components.
