The Feed Tank Connections

Feed Tank Orientation

Positioning the feed tank in line with the Flex-Flo System will provide the most trouble-free operation possible.
Avoid unnecessary elbows and curves to ease system installation. A feed tank with a 30° unloader is
generally required to be at least 10-1/2' (3.2 m) away from the building. With a straight unloader, the tank
will be approximately 4' (1.22 m) farther away from the building in order to make auger tube connections.
The reference points are based upon the height where the system enters the building. Different unloaders
with various elbows and curves used provide different entrance opportunities. The distances are achieved
by modifying and adjusting the elbows and tubing as needed. See tables

on Page 12

(English) or see tables

on Page 13

(Metric) for tank placement recommendations.
