ABSTRACT
Industrial production of fuel pellets involves transporting them over long distances, which is associated with significant costs. Usually pellets are transported by the special trucks or plastic bags in the awning trucks. Study of speed circling and transport of widespread agricultural crops and fuel pellets are given in the article. Parameters of transportation of fuel pellets are similar to the parameters of cereal crops, which is why pneumatic conveyors can be used for transportation fuel pellets. As a result of research, installation for overloading of pellet was proposed. The installation consists of a high pressure fan, unloaded cyclone and flexible product pipeline with pipe for air intake. Cyclic mode of work of installation eliminates using the expensive gateway or screw feeding device.
