The Multocano modular chute improves cost efficiency D esigned for ease of transportation and erection, the Multotec Multo- Cano™ Modular Chute is geared

towards cost efficiency. This modular chute system, with no single component weighing more than 50 kg, can be adapted to spe- cific customer requirements and includes a range of fastening systems. Mike Dexter, managing director of Multotec Wear Linings, says that the MultoCano Modular Chute is also suitable for use underground as it is easy to handle and requires no welding. “The chute can be flat packed as a knock down kit and is easily transported. The modular concept means that it is easy to configure and by having a certain number of standard components, we can accom- modate multiple configurations of transfer points. This standardisation also results in faster turnaround times and reduced stockholding requirement for multiple components.” The chute can be rotated through 90 or 180° and the Multotec Quick Fit Panel with the Green Dot Tile can be incorporated for a combination of increased ease of instal- lation and proactive warning on wear. The visible wear indicator on the Green Dot Tile simplifies awareness of liner wear levels and allows optimum preventative mainte- nance to take place. “The combination of these three inno- vative products provides customers with a cost-effective transfer solution because the cost of implementing the Multocano chute

These are readily achieved with the modular replaceable pan- els, which allow for rapid replacement and interchangeability, with reduced downtime. “The development of the Multocano chute system is in line with the compre- Designed for ease of transportation and erec- tion, the Multotec MultoCano™ Modular Chute is geared towards cost efficiency.
