TRANSFER CHUTES
West River Conveyors designs underground and overland transfer chutes that improve material flow efficiency and safety when conveying various products. We can also manufacture standalone transfer chutes and ones that are attached to a discharge boom.
Our chutes range from simple containers to highly complex systems for multiple heights and various angles. Our team of highly skilled engineers will work with you to evaluate your needs and create a chute that meets your exact requirements.
When moving a product from one conveyor line to another, an enclosure is often required to prevent material spillage and potential airborne dust issues. This is why we design and test our transfer chutes in the most demanding of underground applications.
Our chutes are highly effective at protecting their contents and containing them to the flow stream. A standard transfer chute routinely contains heavy, sharp, or abrasive material, so you need to line it with a very tough plate.
Standard plate options include:
- Ceramic
- Stainless steel
- Abrasion-resistant (AR)
Stainless and AR plate liners can be bolted or welded into the transfer chute’s frame, providing customers with the option of replacing the liners when needed.
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.
