| Origin | This Table shows only a selection of the most important countries of origin and should not be thought of as exhaustive.
|
| Stowage factor (in m3/t) | 1.68 m3/t |
| Angle of repose | approx. 40° |
| Humidity / moisture |
|
| Oil content | 0.1 - 1.0% |
| Ventilation | Recommended ventilation conditions: surface ventilation. As with bulk cargoes of expeller, pellets are also often not ventilated. In order to avoid moisture damage on the surface of the cargo, ventilation must not be performed with cold external air. The ventilation system must then be switched to return air. |
| Risk factors | Citrus pellets are liable to the risk of self-heating/spontaneous combustion. |
