Schurre (mechanical engineering)
In mechanical engineering, a chute is a loading channel and similar conveying and filling devices . It is a special type of pipeline for the directed transport of solids , especially bulk materials, by means of gravity.
Alternative names are:
- slide
- Chute
- Downpipe
- funnel
- gutter
A chute usually consists of several joined sheets. The following fittings are used to prevent or slow down mechanical wear caused by the material:
- Constructively enforced brakes (material cushion)
- wear-resistant sheets
- Plastic linings
Depending on the design, chutes are divided into, for example
- Pant chimes (branching of the material flow)
- Folding chutes (the speed of the material flow is reduced or transport is temporarily prevented)
- Guide gutters (belt conveyor).
