Pellet Vacuum

[@Baystater116]

@huck1241 - The funnel is actually a plastic shade that came off of an old halogen floor lamp. The shade did shine the light up to the ceiling and I've seen them brand new for around $10.

I have a chute so I can dump them in from the outside into a trash can to limit the amount of time my doors are open in the winter. The funnel I used was a drop spout typically for rain gutters with a little framing with 2x6s to hold a whole bag.

@cathect1 Yes, the idea for the holes is to be able to adjust the amount of suction (depending on how strong the vacuum is). I cut another piece of 4" PVC pipe only about 1.5" in length, then cut off about 4" out of that piece, then placed this over the 4" PVC pipe and it rotates around allowing me to adjust the vacuum.

I’m going to make one of these but my shop vac is 6 hp and yours is 5 hp I’m wondering if I should use 6 inch pvc?

[@brandonmurphy8837]

just made one of these . my vac was sucking up some pellets . I drilled a few holes . now just gets a few really small ones

[@ZackAttack84]

Awesome. I have a lot of pellets that need cleaning due to torn bags and water. I am going to be making one of these.

[@alenvarga565]

great!! Please, can you explain how to make this?? Thanx!!!

Cool design will try this on my wheat as well, come June.

[@huck1241]

Great idea! Can you tell me where you found your huge funnel? Thanks!

[@aggronax]

great idea to filter to sawdust in the bags.

Hi....this is a great idea for cleaning pellet stove pellets. Right now I'm using a wire screen to clean my pellets. It works great but is too slow. I would really like to have the directions and PVC pipe measurements to make this system shown here. If anyone has this information or knows where to find this information please let me know...thanks!

You might want to spend the $100 to get an Oneidia Dust deputy cyclone. It traps 99% of the dust from my pellet cleaner so you don't have to clean your vac filter after a couple of bags of pellets.
