Retractable spiral chute for bulk material handling
In the food processing industry, preventing product damage during the filling of bulk totes is crucial. Traditional methods often result in products being dropped from significant heights, leading to breakage and compromised appearance.
Minimize product damage during bulk tote filling.
The Retractable Smooth-Flo Spiral Chute by AC Horn Manufacturing offers a gentle method for filling bulk totes with minimal product drop height. This device starts by lowering the chute into a positioned tote, where a conveyor transfers product onto the infeed chute. As the tote fills, a sensor detects the product level and controls the raising of the spiral chute to maintain a consistent low drop height. This process ensures that products never fall from a height of more than a few inches, significantly reducing product damage and enhancing appearance. Ideal for use with popcorn, roasted nuts, coated nuts, and more, this chute integrates seamlessly with existing conveyor systems, helping to maintain product integrity during the filling process.
