Re: Heavy Duty Chute With Liner Blocks On Chains
In summary no.
In detail:
I believe the following is the chute that you are referring to:
A barrier system for material projected along a trajectory path

If this is the chute that you are referring to, despite that this is triggering a distant memory regarding a site(s) using this style of chute, I am unable to remember anything useful.
The following appears to indicate that the chute is [was?] in use:

My first introduction to the chute was in David Beckley's [as it was then] Practical Belt Conveying.

Uni Chute
Hi Lyle,
Much appreciated.
I saw the article in ABHR that you attached.
I can't find a single reference to Wallace and sons or the chute other than this so I guess it has passed into history.

Steve,
1. I found the following earlier regarding the company:

2. Regarding the chutes, all I can propose is that discuss with any colleagues that have experience with WA Iron Ore.

Uni-Chute Trial
Just to close this out.
I find that we did trial a Uni-chute several years ago, but (for reasons unknown) it was not progressed further.
It did not seem to be a particularly demanding application. ■
Heavy Duty Chute with liner blocks on chains
Good Day all.
Some years back I remember seeing a new chute design that relied on wear blocks suspended on chains.
The trajectory forced the chains to conform to a shape and the blocks protected the chain.
I can't find a reference to this or whether it actually lived up to the promise.
I believe it was an Australian supplier aiming at iron ore.
Has anyone got information on this?
Thanks ■
