What we design

• Storage hoppers, day/surge bins and feeders.

• Transfer chutes and drop boxes; hood/skirt arrangements.

• Diverters, gates and slides; inspection and blockage access.

• Liner systems: AR, ceramic, rubber/UHMW.

• Dust control hoods and spigots.

Engineering scope

• Hopper capacity, outlet dimensions and wall angles based on the agreed material data and operating requirements.

• Review of transfer geometry, impact areas and potential blockage points. Specialist material testing or flow simulation is agreed separately where needed.

• Liner selection/fastening for quick change-out.

• Internal strength checks and FEA of supports and loaded components, based on agreed load cases. This is not certified sign-off.

• Maintenance access, guarding and clearances developed around the agreed project requirements.

Deliverables

• GA/layouts, details and BOMs; fabrication pack (DWG/DXF/PDF) + STEP.

• Interface notes for instruments, gates, liners and dust collection.

• Installation dimensions and service clearances shown for coordination with your site and installation team.

Upgrades & retrofits

• Review of outlet changes, inserts and interfaces for flow aids supplied by specialist manufacturers.

• Spillage and dust reduction (chute geometry and skirting).

• Wear-life improvements with modular liners.

• Inspection openings, liner replacement access and equipment clearances.

For a hopper or chute design enquiry, send the material type, bulk density, particle size, moisture information, required capacity and available dimensions. For modifications, include photos or existing drawings. We will identify any missing inputs before agreeing the design scope.
