Bulk Loading Chutes / Type Moduflex



Dust-free outloading

The outloading of bulk goods is associated with the risk of creating waste and dust as well as the danger of explosion. These risks can have a negative impact on both the environment and work safety. Furthermore it entails a considerable loss of product and extra costs for cleaning and maintenance.

TBMA can offer you an extensive range of dust-free outloading solutions suitable for any loading task like ship-, train-, tanker- or truck loading.

By using TBMA / Moduflex loading chutes the dust hazard of bulk loading is reduced efficiently. A large line of products is available within dust-free loading systems consisting of telescopic tubes, bellow feeders, filter bellows, and specially developed equipment to suit the materials and capacities to be outloaded. It handles a large range of products from cement, lime, fly ash, plastic granules, coal up to grain, flour, sugar etc. for stockpiling, ship, road and rail tanker loading.

Modular structure

The modular structure is an unique feature of the Moduflex bulk loading chutes. This means that the user receives precisely the solution that matches his application, as well as a level of flexibility that enables modifications and repairs of the loading chutes to be undertaken with a minimum of disruption of the outloading process. This reduces, not just maintenance cost, but also the knock-on effect in lost production time.

Open loading

When loading into flatbed truck, stockpiling or similar open loadings, the loading chute outlet rest on the product pile. The free falling material stream (red arrows) passes to the point of discharge through a column of guide cones extending the full vertical length of the outer chute. The combination of a flexible dust skirt and reverse air jet exhaust produces the negative pressure which is necessary to eliminate the escape of dust. The system’s automatically controlled winch mechanism progressively raises the chute during the loading process, as the indicator in the outlet is activated. A reverse air jet arrangement exhausts dust particles upwards from the delivery outlet in the annular space between the guide cones and the outer chute (blue arrows). The guide cones ensure effective separation of the material stream from the dust-laden upward airflow.

Closed loading

In a closed loading system for containers, road, or rail tanker trucks, the outlet nozzle rests on the tankers loading hatch to create a dustproof connection. The reverse air jet exhaust (blue arrows) ensures air displaced by the material being loaded into the tanker does not develop an overpressure that would otherwise result in dust emissions.
