Silo ventilation duct

tubular

FloorVent under-floor ventilation is a cost-saving cooling system for new floors, new stores, hopper bottomed bins and silos. It combines the benefits of Pile-Dry Pedestals and Fans with the need to make store handling and filling easier. FloorVent suits deep grain stores where logistics and safety considerations make moving fans between Pedestals difficult. FloorVent Pedestals are used in the same way as Pile-Dry Pedestals and Pile-Dry Fans with the same spacing and method of use as the P3 Pedestal and F3 fan. Key Features •Economic – low installation cost per ton and more energy-efficient localised cooling, compared to traditional under-floor systems •Simple – FloorVent units comprise a perforated Pedestal tube with a conical cap to deflect grain during filling. The tube connects to an under-floor duct via a base plate in a recess in the concrete floor. When the store is empty, a man-hole cover placed over the recess leaves the floor totally multi-purpose. •Versatile – suited to very deep grain in stores, bins and silos where logistics and safety considerations make moving fans between Pedestals difficult. They can be fitted into new floors during construction or retro-fitted to existing floors or hopper-bottom bins and silos.
