Fuel Bunker

Fuel Bunker

(Solid Fuel Storage & Feeding System)

Technical Description

BELLFABS BOILERS Fuel Bunkers are heavy-duty fuel storage and handling systems designed for safe storage, controlled feeding, and continuous supply of solid fuels to boilers, thermic fluid heaters, and industrial combustion systems. These bunkers are engineered to handle various fuels such as coal, biomass briquettes, rice husk, pellets, wood chips, agro-waste, and other combustible solid fuels.

The system is designed with optimized storage capacity, reinforced structural construction, and smooth fuel discharge arrangement to ensure uninterrupted fuel flow to the furnace or feeding mechanism. Fuel Bunkers can be integrated with screw feeders, belt conveyors, bucket elevators, rotary feeders, and pneumatic conveying systems depending on the fuel type and process requirement.

The robust design ensures efficient fuel management, reduced manual handling, and reliable continuous operation under demanding industrial conditions.
