Superchute® Mega Plastic Funnels

• Custom funnels with Yellow HMWPE (high molecular weight polyethylene) or Blue UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene)
• Yellow funnels have varying diameter sections joined together using our standard cable assemblies

Superchute® Transition Plastic Funnels

Transition funnels have a square inlet & round outlet allowing for a square outlet on a conveyor to mate to a Superchute® Conical Chute.

• Most Superchute® sections are made of YELLOW High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
• HMWPE is resistant to abrasion, chemicals & cold weather
• Clients in Alaska & other cold climates appreciate its low temperature impact resistance of -100 ºC (-156 ºF)
• In hot weather the plastic will become a little softer
• Bright yellow plastic (safety-minded color) shows off your company name plate
• Many thicknesses available
• UV treated

• We build custom Superchute® sections using BLUE Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene if a high volume of abrasive material will be passed through the chute
• UHMWPE is five times more abrasion resistant than the yellow plastic
• Low temperature impact resistance: -70 ºC (-94 ºF)
• Melting temperature: 137 ºC (280 ºF)
• Max recommended working temperature: 80°C (180°F)
• Many thicknesses available
• UV treated

• We build custom Superchute® sections using GREY Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene where extremely hot material will be passed through the chute
• UHMWPE is five times more abrasion resistant than the yellow plastic
• Low temperature impact resistance: -70 ºC (-94 ºF)
• Melting temperature: 150 ºC (300 ºF)
• Max recommended working temperature: 135°C (275°F)
• Primarily designed for carrying hot asphalt in truck beds
• Many thicknesses available
• UV treated

Galvanized steel and hard aluminum metal chute sections are also available. Please visit our Fire Rated Chutes page for more details.
