There are two main types of Flow Control Chutes, the Cascade Style Chute unit which utilizes a “Material on Material” approach along with dynamic flow engineering to vastly extend the life of a transfer chute, by using custom engineered “steps” or “shelves” in the chute it allows the material to build up on these “steps” and thus the flowing material mainly wears on the built up material and not directly on the wear components of the Flow Control Cute itself. The other type of Flow Control Chute is a more conventional style of Lined Chute, in that it utilizes hardened wear liners within the chute to absorb the impact and abrasion from the flowing material. That is where this type of Flow Control Chute steps away from conventional chutes, and with the use of custom flow design that reduces the free falling impact and turbulence that tears the wear liners out of a conventional chute with normal daily use. These chutes are specifically engineered to each individual application, considering, belt speed, material type, falling flow as well as many, many other factors to produce the smoothest material transfer transition possible with the technology available today.
