Weba Chute Systems provides bespoke designs
Uncontrolled discharge in bulk materials handling can lead to reduced efficiency, increased downtime and increased costs.
Weba Chute Systems asserts that custom-engineered transfer chutes are key to addressing these issues, emphasising that their significance in the materials handling process is often underestimated.
“There are still some that overlook the significance of transfer points that are engineered for specific application requirements, ranking them below screens, crushers or feeders in the process hierarchy," says Weba Chute Systems CEO Mark Baller.
Highlighting the benefits of custom-designed solutions, Baller notes, "Proper initial design significantly lowers maintenance needs, improves material transfer, extends conveyor belt lifespan and boosts throughput. Moreover, our chutes are engineered to minimise environmental impact, reducing airborne dust and enhancing workplace health and safety."
The company explains that it approaches each project with bespoke solutions aimed at maximising return on investment. "Engaging with our clients during the design phase is crucial for tailoring solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations, and this includes both new transfer points as well as retrofits," continues Baller.
He says that opting for a sound design from the start rather than retrofitting poorly designed chutes and correcting failures post-implementation, contributes to greater efficiency, improved performance and less downtime.
Baller emphasises that Weba Chute Systems stands out from general fabricators by providing tailor-made solutions that improve materials handling, reduce maintenance needs and lead to increased cost savings.
