Weba Chute Systems & Solutions specialises in the custom design of transfer point solutions. To date, the company has engineered over 3 500 transfer chutes, which are operating successfully throughout the global mining industry.
Regardless of belt speed, belt width, material size, shape or throughput, the Weba Chute System eliminates the problems associated with conventional transfer chutes and provides a cost-effective and environment-friendly solution for material transfer.
The company owns the intellectual property on a wide variety of transfer point designs and the design of systems is undertaken using sophisticated three-dimensional computer software, while data received from customers is always verified. The optimum design is created and tested using a combination of sound engineering tools, substantial practical knowledge and discrete element method simulation as a verification tool.
The company holds ISO 9001:2008 accreditation, and quality manufacture forms an important part of the process. In addition, performance guarantees, set in accordance with operational and application parameters, are provided with all Weba Chute Systems, ensuring the provision of a chute solution that works for each application.
The Weba Chute System uses a ‘supertube’ effect with a cascade scenario, which means that 95% of the material runs on material at all times. This principle reduces degradation of materials by controlling the flow of the material, and this, in turn, reduces wear and tear, noise and dust pollution, spillage, excessive impact and subsequent belt damage.
