ASGCO Flo-Control™ Chutes
 ASGCO Flo-Control™, is a revolutionary way to handle granular and particulate material handling problems and to increase production capabilities. Combined with our conveyor and material handling knowledge, engineering capabilities and complete turn-key installation services, we are able to make problems a thing of the past.

 

Challenge: Dramatically increase performance and decrease downtime at various transfer points for a major mining operation.   Take current drawings of existing transfer and render them accurately in 3-D CAD. Run flow simulation.
 
Identify by computer analysis (3-DEM) the best chute geometry for enhanced production. Develop "hood" and "spoon" configuration.   Fabrication and manufacture of the new transfer point including hoods, spoons, liners and other conveyor components.

 

ASGCO crews install the Flo-Control Hood, which can be adjusted vertically and horizontally.   2" thick ceramic panels on 1/4" steel backing are showing no build or wear and can be easily replaced.

 
ASGCO's new chute design with Flo-Control Hood and Spoon creates a tight material column ...   ... resulting in perfectly centered flow downstream.
Benefits of ASGCO Flo-Control
Increase Overall Conveyor Performance!
Increased Production Capabilities
  Stop chute plugging, spillage, belt wear, chute wear, and dust
Optimize Life on Conveyor Belt and  Components
  Minimize impact and top cover wear on the conveyor belt by using a curved chute or soft loading design
  Reduce impact and abrasion to chute liners and conveyor components
Minimize Material Spillage
  Center load the material
  Load the material at a uniform rate and speed the belt is moving
  Optimize material flow in the direction of travel and load the material after the belt is fully troughed
  Maintain conveyor belt alignment throughout the load zone.
  Ensure proper conveyor belt tracking throughout the load zone
Reduce the Need for Dust Control and Suppression
  Minimize the dust through a curved chute or soft loading design
  Effective skirting and internal wear and impact resistant chute liners
  Maintain dust curtains staggered throughout the loading area to further minimize air movement
Decrease Carry-back
  Optimize belt cleaner design to match the performance needed to reduce carry-back
