2021.10.1 3. DEM modelling of conveyor transfer points. Various studies have modelled and analysed conveyor transfer chutes using DEM. One of the earliest demonstrations of this was by Nordell in 1994 [ 21 ], and one of the first implementations of DEM as a predictive design tool was by Hustrulid in 1996 and 1998 [ 22, 23 ].

CHUTE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR FEEDING AND TRANSFER
In other cases, transfer chutes are employed to direct the flow of bulk material from one conveyor belt to another, often via a three dimensional path. The importance of correct chute design to ensure efficient transfer of bulk solids without spillage and blockages and with minimum chute and belt wear cannot be too strongly emphasised. The

Transfer Point Design and Fabrication Rev3 - ASGCO
Transfer Point Design and Fabrication_Rev3.cdr. After-market epoxy compound was needed to help seal the holes in the chutes. The relationship of these two conveyors made the design of the chute difficult. Due to the angle of discharge onto the 60” receiving conveyor, off center loading caused serious belt mis-tracking and constant spillage.

ABSTRACT. Using control volume and stream flow analysis techniques as used in fluid mechanics, it can be shown that the upper part of a conveyor transfer chute should be used to eliminate any horizontal velocity component from the flow, and the lower part of the transfer should be used to impart a horizontal velocity component to the flow in the
