The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is increasingly used to analyse the design of conveyor systems. In this study, the capability of, and accuracy with which DEM can predict the flow of a non-cohesive granular material through a transfer chute was investigated. The model included a Chevron patterned belt, an impact plate, hood, and …

A qualitative modelling case study is presented investigating the sensitivities associated with transfer chute design geometry and the resulting chute and belt wear life. An outline of the elements for consideration towards design criteria specification in iron ore transfers is presented.
- Resources on functional design of transfer chutes to ensure reliable material flow. - Information on the transfer chute design manual for conveyor belt systems and its principles for calculating and designing conveyors.
A belt tripper consists of a structure with two pulley assemblies. As the belt passes over the upper pulley, the material is discharged from the belt into a collection chute. The material is then diverted to one side or both sides of the belt for discharge, or back onto the belt if the desired discharge position is at the end of the conveyor. Several powered drive options …
Engineered-flow transfer chutes and air-supported belt conveyors were introduced into bulk material handling systems in the 1990s.

Ten common mistakes in conveyor specification and design. Summary: Conveyor systems are the lifeblood of a wide range of bulk material handling operations, including mining, coal and ore processing, aggregate and cement manufacturing. Modern systems are being tasked with moving greater volumes of cargo – at higher speeds – than ever …
Bucket Elevator Engineering Guide. One of the most efficient ways to elevate bulk materials vertically is with a bucket elevator. A Bucket Elevator consists of a series of buckets attached to a belt or chain with pulleys or sprockets located at the top and bottom of the unit. The buckets are located in a casing or housing to contain the material.
Significantly reduce your transfer chute maintenance and at the same time significantly improve transfer chute reliability and productivity. That's Gulf StallFlow Technology. Better design and thinking provides the next 'step' change improvements required to generate incremental production increases from materials handling conveyor assets by …
Often compared to a luggage sorting system at the airport, a diverter plow is the bulk material handling equivalent. When a diverter plow is engaged, the blade is lowered (or the conveyor belt is raised). The system then diverts the conveyed material down an accompanying chute onto the conveyors or stock pile below.
The maximum angle of inclination of a belt conveyor depends on the friction. value between material and belt and the form of material. Large lump and. moist material decrease the angle of ...
Tunnel metal detectors enclose a conveyor belt, while flat metal detectors are attached underneath conveyor belts or chutes. They detect metallic contaminants, regardless of the metal type and whether the contaminant is exposed or embedded in the product. More information on how Sesotec metal detectors work is available here.
Optimal chute design ensures efficient transport without spillage and blockages, and with minimum chute and belt wear. The importance of optimal design is accentuated with the trend towards higher conveying speeds.
ASGCO's Chute Linings and Skirt Liners are designed to be an integral part of a conveyor system. Our pre-engineered chute lining protects and cushions the chute from the material being handled; Skirt Liners prevents fugitive materials from escaping and damaging the conveyor loading areas. We can build, design, fabricate and install chutes, and also …
Granular mechanics modeling of belt conveyor transfer chutes and belt feeder stockpile reclaim chutes is shown to produce a better understanding of pitfalls and insight into improving their designs. Characterizing ore flow physics, based on individual particle contact mechanics from Discrete Element Modeling (DEM), can lead to new treatment …
Overland Conveyor Design. At CDI we are proud to have designed many of the longest, strongest and highest speed overland and underground belts in North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Our clients recognize that we deliver the most cost effective, reliable conveyor systems through our deep understanding of conveyor physics and ...
Wood is responsible for assessing material handling transfer chutes for crushed ore. The large number of transfer chutes must be optimized to enable the transfer of bulk material from one conveyor belt to another, and to adequately direct the flow of material. Some of the most common issues with material transfer designs include plugging, segregation, …
Transfer Point Design and Fabrication_Rev3.cdr. After-market epoxy compound was needed to help seal the holes in the chutes. The relationship of these two conveyors made the design of the chute difficult. Due to the angle of discharge onto the 60" receiving conveyor, off center loading caused serious belt mis-tracking and constant spillage.
Utilizing these chute design methods and conventional techniques, we aim to meet your transfer's specific need through significantly lower dust emissions, soft and centered conveyor belt loading, reduced belt wear, maximum throughput, greater component life expectancy, less spillage, and accessible wear liner maintenance.
Our conveyor skirtboard system further applies leading dust- and spillage-control technologies as standard features to help keep your operation clean, safe and productive. The system is available in standard sizes and lengths based on …
In today's conveyor systems the major source of maintenance and maintenance related delays to production usually have a common root cause: the design and functionality of the transfer chutes feeding the conveyors. The Transfer Chute Design Manual brings together the way transfer chute design has evolved, relates the evolution to the …
Helix Technologies also offers consultation services for conveyor design and Analysis. Helix Technologies can build the conveyor models in Helix DeltaT Online and perform preliminary calculations for your new or existing conveyors. Please feel free to send us a contact form message with more details about your project and we can start the …
Conveyor belt skirting fastens to the transfer point (typically where materials drop out of a chute and onto a moving belt) with clamps or a simple nut & bolt system. The skirting surrounds the transfer chute, which …
The primary chute function is to contain, direct and deliver bulk material at a nominated rate to a receiving conveyor, bin or stockpile. Containment includes dust and cleaner discharge. Delivery should be at a speed and direction matching the receiving belt or to a bin or stockpile at a point appropriate to correct filling. Incorrect delivery can lead …
A chute was designed for a 600 mm conveyor and not for the 750 mm belt installed. The detailer had worked on old drawings.
The high and continuous speed of operation of the belt makes for a high capacity of transport of materials. This workshop is designed for engineers and technicians from a wide range of abilities and backgrounds and will provide an excellent introduction to troubleshooting, maintenance and basic design rules of conveyors and chutes.
