Used Conveyor Chutes - American Surplus Inc.

• Cost-Effective Material Transport: Gravity Chutes rely on the forces of gravity to move materials, eliminating the need for costly motorized conveyor systems, power sources, and ongoing maintenance expenses.
• Low Maintenance: Gravity Chutes have minimal moving parts, reducing the need for maintenance and repair. This simplicity enhances their reliability and longevity.
• Energy Efficiency: As they operate solely under gravity, these chutes are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly; Contributing to lower operational costs and reduced carbon footprint.
  
• Noise Reduction: Gravity Chutes are quieter than powered or motorized conveyors, making them suitable for applications where noise levels need to be minimized, such as in manufacturing or processing facilities.
  
• Versatility: Gravity Chutes can be used to transport a wide range of materials including bulk solids, granular materials, and packaged goods, making them the versatile choice in many industries such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing.
• Customizable Design: Gravity Chutes can be designed and fabricated to meet specific requirements, ensuring they fit the application and available space.
  

Used conveyor chutes from ASI are ideal for moving bulky or packaged items quickly and efficiently while only requiring the power of gravity to move material. They can be easily installed to provide a declined path to move material from one area of conveyor, down to lower levels.

Food processing is one of the industries for which we build a lot of equipment. This industry requires equipment fabricated of stainless steel with a food grade finish, which is a core competency at Astro. For industries other than food, a lower cost carbon steel works great. Spiral chutes are a particularly popular product that we have been custom producing for over 10 years.

WHAT IS A SPIRAL CHUTE?

A spiral chute conveyer is an often-overlooked component in a food production line but one that performs a highly necessary function. Spiral chutes lower food products, usually granular or particulate products, gently from one level of a machine down to another without breaking or damaging them. They provide a ‘hands off’ operation to ensure that products are handled properly without the need to hire someone full time to perform the task or perform quality control. Several benefits of spiral chutes including: no moving parts, little to no maintenance, a small footprint, sturdy construction, and customization to space.

WHERE ARE THEY USED?

Aside from food processing, a spiral chute can also be used in the following industries:

• Biofuel
• Chemical production
• Agriculture
• Wood pulp
• Practically any industry or application that requires safe movement of goods or materials can find use from a professionally manufactured spiral chute.
