Advanced Design and Simulation Modeling Techniques for Optimizing Transfer Chute Performance

Designing and operating transfer chutes and conveyors can be challenging, especially with complex structures and difficult materials like dusty and sticky bulk solids. Mining and engineering companies are under pressure to reduce costs by optimizing assets for longer life and higher availability. As bulk solids handling characteristics decline, equipment modifications often become necessary to maintain efficiency and productivity.

This webinar provides an overview of transfer chute design with an introduction to characterization of bulk solids, DEM material model calibration, chute design fundamentals, advanced simulation modelling and analysis. The webinar also explores how engineers can leverage the integration of particle simulation with other CAE tools to optimize transfer chutes, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency.
