Chutes

With stricter environmental standards, telescopic chutes are becoming more necessary to achieve dust emission requirements and reduce material loss.

Engineered Equipment is able to custom design and build telescopic chutes for all bulk materials handling applications.

Typical applications for our chutes are:

Ship loaders
Stockpile machines
Stackers
Bins
Truck loading and train loading

Telescopic Chute Features and Options:

Optimised overlap to ensure binding does not occur in the chute sections.
Self-cleaning pads to remove material from the inside of the chute for ‘sticky’ materials
Gimbal pivoting connections to allow the chute to hang vertically and to ensure additional moments and loads are not put back into the supporting structure.

Winch System

The winches used to raise and lower the telescopic chute are designed in accordance with AS 1418. The winches are designed to hold the block chute load. Unlike other products on the market, Lever winches have a brake acting directly on the drum, not through the gearbox.

We are able to design the winch system to meet the site requirements taking into account things such as maintenance positions, access, preferred equipment list and the structure that it is mounted to.

Control System

Lever telescopic vhutes can be supplied with a stand alone control system or can be integrated into a sites existing control system.

The control can include the following options:
End of travel limits
Load cells to detect a blocked chute condition or an impending block chute condition
Automatic chute raising and lowering
Stockpile height detection
Remote control

Chute Attachments

Lever telescopic chutes can be supplied with attachments to assist with ship loading and dust mitigation.

Attachments include:

Spoon Chutes, fixed and adjustable
Socks for dust mitigation
Throwers
