Discharge options

End discharges

All models of simplexes are furnished with standard flanged end discharge chute. Since many applications require specially designed chutes, a wide variety of special end discharge chutes are available. Typical of these chutes are those with high-low level controls and divided chutes with selective valves that are either manual or electrically operated.

All model S and C simplexes can be provided with side discharges to discharge product at various locations. The product is dumped from the top strand of buckets into a chute and then discharges through the side of the simplex.>

Figure 11D shows the buckets in the side position for a side discharge. The trip mechanism can be fixed, manual or remote controlled.

Figure 12A - illustrates that side discharges can be to the left or the right.
