A rock box is normally used when you want material on material contact to prevent chute wear at the impact zone. If segregation or different products are run in the same chute a rock box is not practicle and a better chute design is required to collect and direct the flow properly to the receiving system.

Chute design is a combination of science and art, so it is always wise to consult a conveyor engineer experienced in design systems for specific bulk-materials handling applications. (See Chapter 22: Engineered Flow Chutes for a discussion about advanced chute design .) Transferring the material The primary function of a transfer chute
Chute wear is often a critical issue that affects cost and productivity of bulk materials handling [4]. Therefore, focus of the present study is new design principles for wear liners in chutes, and similar applications where bulk materials are sliding against a …
This document discusses two key design principles for chutes used to handle bulk solids: 1. Chutes must be steep enough to prevent material from adhering or plugging at impact points, such as where the chute changes direction. The minimum angle can be determined through testing. 2. Chutes must have sufficient cross-sectional area to avoid reducing the flow velocity …
Belt conveyor design for bulk material handling. Many designs are possible for a conveyor's drive unit. In conventional designs, the power is supplied by a direct-coupled motor gearbox, or by a direct- or parallel-shaft drive, operating the drum through a suitably sized couple. ... Hoppers & chutes in bulk material handling.

This paper presents a design, and a design method, sufficient to engineer a passive solution to the problem of discharge bias resulting from tonnage fluctuation with soft loading transfer chutes. This is achieved by considering the momentum change inherent in the bulk material stream through the hood section of a soft loading transfer point.
This study derived design principles for wear liners with inserts for mining applications such as chutes. Two design parameters of the wear liners, namely the spacing and the exposure height of the inserts, are investigated. 35 wear liners with a systematic combination of these parameters were studied using Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) of ...

Bulk material spouting at a grain processing facility. Since the flow of the material is only propelled by gravity, the routing of spouts and chutes is a critical design element. Often, the placement of the spouting and process elements governs the design; support structures and systems are designed around their locations.
