Fabric tank
With a Flexilo fabric tank, your pellets are space-saving and cost-efficiently stored at the same time.
You can determine the set-up location yourself and do not need a separate storage room. We offer you the right design for every space and pellet requirement.
There are different fabric tank sizes from 499 kg to 12 tons storage capacity to choose from.

Size of the fabric tank
The tank size depends on the building heating load. Based on average heating habits, outcomes the following rule of thumb:
1kW heat load = 400kg of wood pellets a year.
For example:
Heating load 12 kW x 400 kg = 4800 kg ....... fabric tank KGT2618
Heating load 10 kW x 400 kg = 4000 kg ....... fabric tank S2622H
Heating load 7 kW x 400 kg = 2800 kg ....... fabric tank S190H
Filling unit and discharge motor on the same side
Filling unit opposite discharge motor
The location of the wood pellets tank room
Pellets are delivered by tanker truck and are blown into the store room or the FlexiTank. The truck's pumping hose is max. 30 m length, so the FlexiTank (or rather the filler coupling) must be no more than 30m from the drive, parking space or road. If possible, the FlexiTank room should border at least one exterior wall, since the filler coupling must be accessible from the outside. Where this is not possible, ventilation and filling pipes must be routed to a filler coupling on the outside of the building. (Attention - in some countries fire regulations must be observed).
Size of the storage room
Layout:
The room housing the Flexilo must be at least 7 - 10 cm wider than the tank itself.
For example: The S190 tank has a width of 197 cm, requiring a minimum room dimension of 205 cm on three sides, on the fourth side with the filler nozzle there must be 30cm additional clearance.
For example:
The Flexilo S190 requires a minimum room length of 205 cm + 30 cm = 235 cm on the "filler side".
Room height: The minimum room height is 215 cm.
