ADVANTAGES OF THE WEBA CHUTE

(Applies to most Transfer Points)

1. Decrease the current percentage of degradation by

up to 80% (mainly applicable to coal).
2. Reduction of up to 80% in wear and tear.
3. No skirting required for some applications.
4. Greatly reduced spillage.
5. No uneven belt loading.
6. Multiple belt loading.
7. Reduction in replacement liners required (high cost
factor).
8. Up to 80% maintenance free (important factor to
most mines).
9. Reduction in noise level and dust pollution.
10. Up to 80% reduction in belt damage to outgoing
belt.
11. Almost supervision free transfer points.
12. Easy access to transfer chute due to less bulky
chute design.
13. No impact idlers required under chute.
14. Overrun storage facility.
15. Maximum belt capacity usage.
16. Increased safety against injury

As each WEBA chute behaves differently with regard to

the flow characteristics, some characteristics can
only be established during production. The WEBA
chute therefore may need some minor final
adjustment.

Hot Commissioning is therefore very important.

1. FLOW VELOCITY CONTROL 3. HORSE SHOE CROSS SECTIONAL FLOW

• Control (change) transfer angle in zones to PROFILE
ensure that material trajectory velocity and • Concentrate Flow – promote “Super
direction of flow is controlled to ensure that Tube” flow effect
final discharge ore flow velocity and direction
• No-valley angles or low flow rate zone
matches conveyor belt speed and travel
promoting material build-up
direction and that flow velocity is sustained
at all times (no blockages). • Self-cleaning of material build-up
• Effective at varying flow rate
2. CASCADE (LEDGED) WEAR PROTECTION
• Material on material wear – boundary flow
effect
• Low maintenance cost
