In bulk materials handling systems, chutes and transfer stations are critical components that influence material flow efficiency, wear performance, and operational reliability. Whether you’re upgrading existing infrastructure or designing new plant layouts, accurate engineering documentation and modelling are essential to reduce risk and maximise uptime. At Hamilton By Design, we integrate reality capture (LiDAR scanning), point cloud modelling, and engineering CAD workflows to deliver highly detailed documentation and constructable designs for chutes, transfer stations, and related bulk handling assets. What Are Chutes & Transfer Stations? In material handling systems, chutes are structures that direct the flow of material between conveyors, hoppers, bins and processing equipment. A transfer station is the junction point where material changes direction, speed, or conveying method — often involving multiple chutes, diverters, and supporting structures. These areas are prone to...
