Transfer Chute Key Specifications

Liner Material

Mirror-polished stainless steel (SS 304/316L) internal surfaces; FDA-compliant UHMW-PE liners for sticky product applications to prevent buildup and blockage.

Inlet/Outlet Size

Custom-matched to conveyor belt widths from 400 mm to 1200 mm; smooth radius transitions to prevent product breakage and eliminate dead zones for cleaning.

Wear Life

Stainless steel surfaces: 60-120 months for grain and sugar service; UHMW-PE liners: 24-48 months; surfaces maintained through scheduled polishing and inspection.

DEM Analysis

DEM particle flow simulation for fragile products (snacks, coated items) to minimize impact damage and optimize gentle transfer trajectories between processing stages.

Hygiene Features

Crevice-free sanitary construction; quick-release clamps for tool-free access; CIP (clean-in-place) compatible design; sloped surfaces to prevent moisture and product accumulation.

Material Throughput

10 TPH to 500 TPH depending on product type and bulk density; designed for both free-flowing grains and cohesive powders like flour and milk powder.

Industrial Applications

Grain Elevator to Cleaning Line Transfer
Stainless steel transfer chutes receive grain from bucket elevators and direct it to cleaning and grading equipment with smooth flow paths and integrated aspiration connections.
Sugar Processing Line Transfers
Polished SS chutes transfer refined sugar between centrifugals, dryers, graders, and bagging conveyors with anti-static features and dust-tight enclosure for explosion safety.
Finished Product Conveyor Transfers
Gentle-angle transfer chutes move packaged and unpackaged food products between conveyor stages in packaging lines with cushioned impact surfaces to prevent product damage.
