Conveyor Chute Design

For materials like woody biomass that don't flow well, it's best to make chutes with a relieving angle, with the bottom area greater than the top. Such a design helps ensure the material will not bridge over the outlet. A Target. When the chute discharges into a conveyor, it should spread the material over the conveyor's width.
