Fuel Storage & Handling
Introduction
Visdamax offers comprehensive fuel storage and handling solutions that are fully integrate-able with its heat plant and SCADA systems. From compact silos and mass storage bunkers to conveyors, pneumatic handling systems and moving floor designs, every component is designed for smooth fuel flow, automation compatibility and site-specific adaptability.
Features
Our fuel storage systems include modular steel silos (20–400m³) and large bunker systems (500–2000m³) designed with inverse-tapered walls to prevent arching and ensure smooth discharge. Metering screws with VSDs provide accurate fuel flow control, while traversing screws ensure all fuel in the silo can be extracted. Fuel handling equipment includes belt, screw, and scraper conveyors, pneumatic blowers, and moving floor systems, all available in customized configurations with options for fuel screens, shredders, and weighing sensors. Every system can be integrated into centralized automation platforms for full visibility and efficiency.
Fuel Storage Option & Features
- Steel silos: 20m³ to 400m³ capacity; modular wall design for easy assembly.
- Bunker storage: 500m³ to 2000m³; large-volume solution with optional client-supplied structure.
- Elevated silos: Allow fuel discharge to trucks and process plants simultaneously.
- Inverse-tapered wall design: Minimizes fuel arching/clogging inside silos and bunkers.
- Sensor options: High-level or radar-based sensors for accurate fuel level measurement.
- Metering screws with VSD: Enable precise fuel output control.
- Single traversing screws that extract fuel from every part of the silo while keeping costs low.
Fuel Handling Systems
Conveyors:
- Belt conveyors (flat, inclined, troughed).
- Screw conveyors.
- Scrapper chain conveyors.
Pneumatic systems:
- Blower fans, ducting, and diverting gates.
Moving floor systems:
- Suitable for daybins or truck-infeed setups, front loader or tip-fed.
Add-ons:
- Fuel screens (vibration, disc).
- Chippers/hoggers/shredders.
- Inline fuel weighing sensors.
Fully automatable and linkable with plant-wide control systems.
Benefit
Our fuel storage and handling systems offer reliable, uninterrupted fuel supply through high-capacity silos and bunkers – ensuring continuous plant operation even during fuel delivery gaps. The integration of variable speed drives enables precise fuel metering, improving combustion efficiency and reducing wastage. Modular system design, and simplified on-site assembly contribute to significant installation savings. With centralized PLC/SCADA automation, operators gain full visibility and control over storage and fuel flow, reducing manual labor and operational errors. Backed by global installations and flexible configurations, these systems are built to scale with your operational needs while maximizing performance and efficiency.
