Superchute® Steel Liners

  • A curled liner can cause a blockage
  • Care must be taken if liners are used higher up in the chute because liners will curl after prolonged use
  • Liners are intended for use at the discharge end of the chute where the last few sections curve into the container
  • Usually 2 or 3 are installed where the debris is hitting hardest

Features

  • We can make a matching liner for any of our six chute diameters
  • Painted diameter specs
  • Two hand-holds
  • Brackets for easy chute wall attachment
  • 14 gauge galvanized steel construction
  • Protect heavy-wear areas in the chute

Superchute® Ring & Hook Assembly

  • Allow a pair of lifting rings to be rapidly fitted to any Regular Chute or Door Section for easy hook-ons
  • Top Hoppers are factory-equipped with lifting rings – sections below the Top Hopper are not equipped with lifting rings
  • Each ring easily accepts 2 hooks – the lifting bar hook & the hoist hook
  • The Superchute® Ring & Hook Assembly is highly recommended for Fishpole installations where there will be a sill or parapet at the Top Hopper level
  • Multiple length chute systems require Ring & Hook Assemblies for every length

 

Note: U-bolts bolted through the chute wall do not provide sufficient room for the connection of multiple lifting hooks.

Superchute® Rapid Warning Light System

“If there is a problem with the chute, how can I quickly tell
workers on other levels to stop using it?”

instantly indicate a “Do Not Use Chute” situation to
workers on other levels.

 

This communication tool can help prevent an incident if:

  • The chute is blocked
  • The full container is being changed for an empty
  • There is a problem with the chute

 

Other features:

  • Modular, low voltage, electronic system that can easily expand to match the length of chute & number of chute entries
  • The entire system is watertight & features heavy duty components.

1. Use a mini-grinder (not supplied) to gently cut & grind away the damaged stud. Take care not to grind the aluminum track.

2. Once the collar is flush with the track use a hammer and punch to bang out the remaining head. Drilling is not recommended as it may enlarge the hole which would make a poor fit for the new stud. Wear eye protection.

3. The tools will attach the studs by crimping them.
