Designing for Durability: Chutes, Diverters & Transfers for Mining in the Hunter, Newcastle & Central Coast

 Posted by Hamilton By Design | www.hamiltonbydesign.com.au



🔧 Smart Mechanical Design for Heavy-Duty Materials Handling

Across the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, and Central Coast, mining and industrial operations rely on efficient, wear-resistant material handling systems. Whether you’re operating a coal prep plant, quarry, or bulk handling facility, poorly designed chutes and transfer systems can lead to costly wear, spillage, and downtime.

That’s where Hamilton By Design comes in.

Based in regional Australia, we offer mechanical engineering and drafting services backed by real-world site experience and advanced design tools. Our team supports the full life cycle of transfer infrastructure—designing, drafting, and upgrading everything from diverter chutes to wear liners.

🔄 What We Design

Our engineering team specialises in high-performance, easy-to-maintain material handling systems, including:

  • Transfer Chutes – Designed to control flow, minimise turbulence, and reduce liner wear.

  • Diverter Chutes – For directing material to different conveyors or bins, with hydraulic or manual actuation.

  • Trouser Leg Chutes – For splitting product streams while maintaining even, balanced flow.

  • Hood & Spoon Transfers – Gentle, low-impact systems that extend belt life and reduce spillage.

  • Wear-Resistant Liners – Hardox®, ceramic, or rubber-backed options for extreme applications.

Need help designing or upgrading your chute system? Contact us at www.hamiltonbydesign.com.au for a quote or consultation.


📍 Locally Focused Engineering Support

Hamilton By Design proudly services clients throughout:

  • Hunter Valley – including Muswellbrook, Singleton, Maitland, and Cessnock

  • Newcastle – port infrastructure, terminals, and heavy industrial zones

  • Central Coast – including Wyong, Tuggerah, and Somersby-based manufacturing

We know the region, the industry, and the shutdown pressures you face. Whether you’re replacing a chute or upgrading an entire transfer tower, we offer fast, site-ready solutions tailored to your environment.




📐 Drafting & Engineering Deliverables

Hamilton By Design provides detailed documentation for both new designs and brownfield upgrades:

  • GA and detail drawings for fabrication

  • 3D CAD models (SolidWorks, Inventor, or your native format)

  • Lidar scanning and point cloud integration for existing plant

  • Exploded views and assembly diagrams for install teams

  • BOMs and part numbering for procurement and site control

Our goal is to help you get from concept to install with fewer errors, less downtime, and maximum wear life.

🛡️ Designed for Wear Resistance

Your transfer system is only as reliable as its ability to handle impact, abrasion, and fines buildup. That’s why we engineer with wear in mind, choosing liner systems and flow paths that balance:

  • Material type and abrasiveness

  • Drop heights and impact angles

  • Flow velocity and capacity

  • Access for maintenance and liner replacement

Let Hamilton By Design assess your existing systems and offer solutions that reduce rework, maintenance hours, and spillage.




💬 Why Work With Us?

  • ✅ Local knowledge of Hunter, Newcastle & Central Coast facilities

  • ✅ Site-measured and Lidar-scanned for retrofit accuracy

  • ✅ Proven mechanical engineering and drafting capability

Mechanical design and drafting



Mechanical design and drafting
The team at Hamilton By Design provide effective solutions for Mechanical Drafting and Detailing Services. We can produce industrial work shop drawing of mechanical parts with our wide range of drafting software.
Whether you require mechanical design, detailed drafting, 3-D models or transferring technical drawings to computer, all are performed to your company standards and specifications.
  • Shop Drawings.
  • Raw casting and machined components drawings.
  • Patent Drawings.
  • Steel Fabrication Drawings.
  • Fixture detailing.
  • Plant layouts.
  • P & ID drawings and weld maps.
  • On-site Drafting Support
Hamilton By Design offer a complete 2D to 3D conversion our parametric modeller accepts over 13 various cad formats that offer a similar number of export options.

Our 3-D solid models offer our designers complete control, through direct modelling techniques, dimensions drive the model geometry; changing dimensions changes the shape of the model. You can relate dimensions to each other in equations.

Furthermore, we offer the latest in 3-D Modelling tools which cover the complete design process—from design and validation to technical communications and data management. The intuitive design interface and integrated software work together and give you the freedom to focus on innovation. You can maximize the productivity of your design and engineering resources to create products better, faster, and more cost-effectively.

Predominately our 3D CAD software helps designers quickly become proficient 3D modelers and increases the speed to create and deliver designs, yet it also other functionality such as:
  • Studying component functionality.
  • Measuring an object and then reconstructing it as a 3D model using toolboxes.
  • 3D scanning and converting point cloud data to parametric cad models.
  • Material testing including, Metallurgical Testing includes chemistry, micro-structure, core/surface hardness, surface treatment etc.
  • Rapid prototyping.
  • Prototyping and physical testing.
  • FEA validations and commissioning.
  • Simulation technology speeds up prototyping and verifies your design
  • You can leverage 3D design data to quickly communicate complex technical details with animations and visual instructions
  • Data management software makes sure the right file version is available, avoids costly errors, and reduces the time spent searching for existing parts or designs by up to 40%
