Transfer Chute Key Specifications

Liner Material

AR500 steel for general ore and coke flow surfaces; high-alumina ceramic tiles (95% Al₂O₃) for impact zones; composite rubber-ceramic panels for curved flow sections.

Inlet/Outlet Size

Custom geometry for belt widths from 800 mm to 2400 mm; designed to handle lump sizes up to 300 mm (ROM ore) without bridging or blockage.

Wear Life

AR500 liner panels: 12-24 months on iron ore service; ceramic tiles at impact zones: 24-48 months; liner systems designed for rapid modular replacement during shutdowns.

DEM Analysis

Multi-material DEM simulation (ore, coke, sinter, flux) models particle trajectories, impact energy distribution, and wear patterns to optimize chute geometry for each transfer point.

Structural Design

Heavy-gauge fabricated steel structure designed for impact loads from 300 mm ore lumps; access doors and inspection hatches for liner condition monitoring.

Material Throughput

Designed for 200 TPH to 8,000 TPH, covering the full range from proportioning conveyors to trunk ore handling conveyors in raw material yards.

Industrial Applications

Raw Material Yard Stacker-Reclaimer Transfers
Transfer chutes at stacker-reclaimer interface points handle multiple materials (iron ore, coal, flux) with geometry optimized for each material's flow characteristics.
Sinter Plant Feed and Discharge Transfers
High-temperature transfer chutes handle hot sinter (400-700°C) from the sinter strand to cooler feed conveyors with heat-resistant liners and thermal expansion joints.
Blast Furnace Stock House Feed
Precision transfer chutes deliver screened sinter, coke, and ore to blast furnace stock house bins with centered loading to prevent belt mistracking and bin segregation.
