Key to solving these challenges is good design, Baller emphasises. While conventional chute design often allows the uncontrolled discharge of bulk materials, he considers that a holistic design is necessary focusing not only on the entry and exit points, but also controlling the flow, volume and velocity of the material being transferred. “Each transfer point therefore needs to be custom designed, to control the direction, flow and velocity of the material,” he says. “Weba Chute Systems bases its designs on the ‘supertube’ effect, which often employs a cascade lining system allowing 95% of material to run on other material at all times. This may also be achieved using conventional lining systems.”
