This article briefly describes the two tools and looks at how they can be used to complement each other to enable the efficient design of transfer chutes. 1. Discrete Element …
Design the hood (discharge collector) and define conditions for minimum wear in the chute, or, in the event that a rock box is selected, design the rock box so as to collect and transfer material in an appropriate channel. Design the Spoon (discharge distributor) and define conditions for minimum wear in the chute and on the downstream belt.
Effective transfer chute design results in improved system efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements, and enhanced operational safety. What is the difference between a chute and a hopper? A chute and a hopper are both components used in material handling systems, but they serve different purposes. A chute is typically …
Helix DEM Chute Design . Helix DEM Chute Design is an engineering design tool which combines CAD Drawing and 3D Modeling with a powerful calculation engine to predict the motion of particles in a transfer chute. The program allows the user to quickly build a model of a bulk material transfer chute station and then to perform calculations …
downstream conveyor. This paper will present the design flow implemented to overcome problems in two case studiese Element Modelling utilising Discret incorporating material characterisation. Material testing is relevant in achieving a valid DEM simulation model and subsequently a valuable design tool for transfer chute assessment and design.
Conveyor Dynamics, Inc. (CDI) has the experience and technology to evaluate the design of transfer chutes in material transport systems. We use Rocky Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) software to evaluate and optimize conveyor transfer designs and, when necessary, we can couple DEM results with ANSYS to perform FEA and CFD analysis.

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. Such specifications must result in adequacy of the ...
The new chute can incorporate a new hood insert or a complete remodeling of the entire top and bottom of the transfer point. The head chute which will direct the material down through a lower Spoon section that will direct the flow in the direction of belt travel and centered on the belt. The ideal transfer point design would need to take
Transfer stations often have a rock box, which is a lip around the bottom of the chute that provides a ledge for rocks and dust to collect. The purpose of a rock box is to prevent the flow of ore from wearing out the bottom of the transfer chute. TRANSFER CHUTES OVERVIEW. Transfer chutes are primarily used at the transfer points in a conveyor ...
Transfer Chute Design. Transfer chutes are used in bulk handling systems to perform a variety of operations. For instance accelerating the bulk material from a slow moving belt or apron feeder onto a conveyor, or capturing and re-directing the flow of bulk material from one conveyor belt to another.
EDEM can be used to evaluate and verify the design performance of transfer chutes and address key design challenges such as spillage, blockage and wear. Expand Search Input Field. Why Altair Our Technology. Advanced Manufacturing ... EDEM simulation of Transfer Chute EDEM can be used to evaluate and verify the design performance of …
The importance of correct chute design to ensure efficient transfer of bulk solids without spillage and blockages and with minimum chute and belt wear cannot be too strongly emphasised. These objectives are …

How Do We Design Transfer Chutes? Jenike & Johanson provides effective functional engineering for transfer chutes considering: Configuration that meets your needs (e.g., …
Introduction. Transfer chutes re-direct the flow of bulk solid materials from one belt conveyor to another. For their design to be recognised by industry as fit-for-purpose, adequate attention to physical properties, operational conditions and accurate modelling parameters must be exercised from early stages of the engineering project.
The current transfer chute design in the Eurosilo is a rockbox chute wherein the material forms a bed of particle with a slope and the material starts sliding beyond the slope. The rockbox chute is preferred when the material is very abrasive or for transfers with high rate of discharge when the chute material is expected to wear off …

The design of the transfer chute heavily influences any potential dust generation. Although this influence is well known, much more attention is given to active dust suppression via water spray systems, the exhaustion of the dust polluted air or the use of electrostatic filters rather than the design optimization of the transfer chute.Due to ...
A chute is a device used to transfer bulk material from one conveying equipment to another. As per the authors' experience, the Indian cement plants use a conventional approach to design transfer chute, suitable for bulk materials like limestone, coal, additives, and correctives, in handling AFs, which is not appropriate as AFs have a …
