Usually a chute is a mechanical guiding plate used to guide the bulk material in a particular direction. A telescopic chute is a mechanical device used for the same purpose of directing the flow of bulk solids material. Here there are two or more than two separate sections or chute elements mounted co-axially above one another. These elements are connected via a flexible wire rope and the design is in such a way so as to create a telescopic action thereby the elements become stackable on each other mutually.
The construction of the equipment is such that it gives the chute flexibility hence it can be lowered or raised as required. The chute height is adjusted by way of wire rope which passes through all the elements and is attached to the last element. When the lower most element is lifted the other elements get stacked inside each other thereby giving the telescopic action.
The chute elements also known as sections can be conical, cylindrical or even pyramidal in shape. The selection depends on the application and the manufacturing capabilities of the manufacturer. The lifting of the sections by the wire rope is executed by the drive comprising of brake motor and gearbox or geared brake motor through a wincing drum.
