Chute Design


Conveyor transfer stations are critical parts within the raw materials conveyor track. The 
material needs to be guided from the oncoming conveyor to the following 
transport system. Transfer Chutes carry out this process, which require to be 
designed so that dust, noise and wear are minimized.




Furthermore chute design needs is to avoid blockages where material flow 
is hindered or obstructed due to build up of material in the chute. In addition where blockages occur access must be designed for maintenance personal.




At Hamilton By Design investigations leading to a optimum chute design are carried out through 
experimental tests in the laboratory, with the aid of computer simulation 
programs. The presentation shows every single step to reach the optimum 
chute design for each application.
