Re: Chute Design
No, but a lot of good experience and intellectual property if you wish to discuss such further:
1. High speed transfers,
2. Quatifyable low degradation and
3. Minimal dust transfers.
4. Low belt wear trnasfers,
5. Ore central loading = no spillage and maintaining belt alignemt
6. More accurate trajectory patterns
7. Quantifying liner wear
8. Preventing or prediction plugging ■
Re: Chute Design
Many engineers use discrete element modeling (DEM) to aid in the design and analysis of transfer stations. You might find some of the informatin in our publications of interest. Please visit www.ChuteMaven.com --> Publications for more information on the following papers.
Hustrulid, G.G.W. Mustoe, "Engineering Analysis of Transfer Points Using Discrete Element Analysis", Presented at 1996 SME Annual Meeting, Phoenix, AZ, February 1996.
Hustrulid, "Transfer Station Analysis", Presented at 1998 SME Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL, February 1998.
Good luck and welcome to the industry.

Chute Design
Hi
I have just signed up to this forum. As I am a graduate mechanical Engineer, this forum looks like a very good learning tool. I am working at a consultancy firm in Australia, with a number of mining projects in the feasibility stage. I am trying to design various chutes for the coal preparation plants, between conveyors etc, and was wondering if there are any good books/websites out there that work through the design process that anyone can recommend.
Thanks,
Dick ■
