Hi Martin I really like this video I am really hoping you might be able to show a video where the Vacuum is connected and how it works I have seen the Pellets going into the Hopper up stairs amazing stuff well done on this project I don't know the size of pipes you have used Martin thanks again for this wonderful video
Marten, you can insulate this upper box, or at least that point where pellets hit the wall, with noise killing material, or turn pipe end downside, for reducing the noise.
Tried to build a similar DIY construction to transfer pellets from my storage room to our main pellet hydro stove. I used around 10 meters of flexible PVC 38mm pipe (1563042294516_0..jpg) but pellets get stuck every 5-10 seconds so it's kind of problematic. The vertical height is close to yours, one level high. I want to try using PVC pipe like one you use but don't know what is the proper diameter, could you please send me what you have used there? I am using a vacuum cleaner able to suck 200 airwatts.
I am very curious about the HP your vac has? I am designing a smaller version but am not sure a 6HP vac can draw enough vacuum. How about your email address if possible? Thanks Alan
Wow this is awesome!!! we have to haul the bags of pellets right now, up some old basement stairs and it's awful. I did make a stair master sort of contraption with a winch system to bring up 2-4 bags at a time, but it doesn't look very good having 4 bags of pellets in ur living room. Any way u could do a tutorial on how you built the boxes and piping? That would be sweet. Great engineering!
@@red05malibumaxx For a sealed box in the room, use an old refrigerator, it has the seals in place just clad it. Don't cut the cooling system, just lay it on its back with the bottom against the wall. cut the pipes in through the side where there is no cooling. Ive seen small chest freezers used for this in Denmark they are clad in wall boards with an old table top on them then they look like a piece of furniture. The discharge pipe into the box is best perforated or sliced with an angle grinder inside the box to slow the exhaust down, that way the pellets don't smack the wall as hard, and pointed diagonally from one corner to the other so there is more distance. the piping is usually 2" any smaller and a vacuum without adjustable suck will draw too fast down a narrow tube and all you end up with is a box full of sawdust as the pellets will travel too fast and disintegrate in the process
@@martenkent1913 I have a box that holds 4 tons. I get a truck that delivers for me but would like to find a way to be able to fill the box myself. Here is my setup. ua-cam.com/video/Mp535pw7yIc/v-deo.html
You could very easily suck the pellets up out of the access box you have in front of your storage bin and upstairs to your pellet stove. You may need some baffling to prevent the pellets from overloading or clogging the transfer pipe. Just play around with some wood baffles and you’ll figure out what works best. I hope to see a video of your setup if you end up building something!
So you want to be able to buy your own pellets and put them in your 4 ton storage bin? The only problem I see there, is the large volume of vacuum you would have to draw in the storage box to get pellets to transfer. The storage bin isn’t vacuum tight is it?
After watching your video again. I’d like to see what’s between the green vac line from the truck and the blue pellet supply line. I’m assuming they are very closely positioned on the inside of the storage bin, and maybe a screen on the green hose prevents the pellets from getting sucked back to the truck, therefore they fall into your storage bin. If this is the case. Try applying a vacuum to the vac port and a hand full of pellets to the supply port
awesome ...well done...
NICE JOB
Looks like a lot of work

I'm actually in the process of completely redesigning the pellet transfer system, I should be posting updated and more in depth videos soon!
Hi, did you ever do videos on the new system you built?
Marten, you can insulate this upper box, or at least that point where pellets hit the wall, with noise killing material, or turn pipe end downside, for reducing the noise.
How did you stop the weight of the pellets from stopping the flow of pellets from feeder box in the garage

Bonjour, quelle type de pompe avez vous utilise pour faire monter les pellets ? Merci
Does it somehow remove most of the pellet dust?
je parle en français. j aimerai voir l aspirateur qui aspire avec les tuyau, s il vous plait, merci

Cool. What kind of vacuum machine?
Dmitry Popov it’s a old commercial NSS Super Suction Vacuum.
@@martenkent1913 qué potencia tiene el compresor?
It’s a 1.5hp vacuum

whats the Hp on that vacuum ?
1hp, 120v 12amps
How long does it take you to xfer 3 bags?
Jay Landry it takes about 1 min or less per 40lb bag. I’ve done some minor updates to help the efficiency.
