ADVANTAGES OF THE WEBA CHUTE(Applies to most Transfer Points)

1. Decrease the current percentage of degradation byup 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. U to 80% maintenance free im ortant 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 tothe flow characteristics, some characteristics canonly be established during production. The WEBA

chute therefore may need some minor finaladjustment.

Hot Commissioning is therefore very important.
