Controlled material flow

Transfer Chute Engineering

Custom-engineered transfer chutes developed around material behaviour, trajectory, wear, access and the operating constraints of each plant.

Scope of capability

Engineering, delivery and support as one coordinated scope.

Each requirement is assessed against the material, operating duty, surrounding equipment, structure and access constraints before a solution is defined.

New chute design and development
Retrofits for existing transfer systems
Engineered-flow and cascade chute concepts
3D scanning and site condition capture
Detailed design, fabrication and installation
Commissioning and responsive after-sales support
Problems addressed

Operational failure modes

  • Blockages and interrupted flow
  • Excessive wear, build-up and spillage
  • Belt misalignment and impact damage
  • Dust generation, noise and vibration
  • Restricted inspection and maintenance access
  • Material degradation during transfer
Design basis

Technical considerations

  • Material size, abrasiveness and moisture
  • Conveyor speed, angle and throughput
  • Drop height and material trajectory
  • Wear liner selection and maintainability
  • Impact forces on receiving equipment
  • Dust and environmental controls
Engineering objective

A solution that performs in the real operating environment.

The intended outcome is not simply new equipment. It is controlled operation, safer access and infrastructure that can be maintained throughout its service life.
