 Superior
Materials
Western Chutes® are all made from #16ga satin coat galvanized
steel, which is far better than the #18ga or higher aluminized
steel others may push. They're also available in Stainless Steel.
 Durable
Construction
To ensure your chute the longest life available we build only the
finest equipment. No rivets, bolts or other protrusions project
into the chute riser. All vertical joints are continuously welded
for maximum strength. Each floor has a fully supported integral
expansion joint.
 Low
Impact Throat Design
Our double slope throat design ensures the largest clear opening
at the intake while reducing the possibility of damage from the
impact of falling material to a minimum.
 Advanced
Intake Door Design
All doors are UL "B" labeled 1-1/2 hour 250º for both
masonry and drywall installation and have a clean Stainless Steel
finish
with embossed trim. All bottom hinged doors hinge on a 5" steel
shaft with friction free bearings. All our doors are built field
adjustable, allowing easier installation.
 Handicap
Accessible Doors
All Western Chute intake doors are available in an ADA compliant
configuration utilizing lever handles and slow closing hydraulic
closer systems.
 Fire
Rated Discharge Doors
Unlike others who only offer type "A" non-rated horizontal
discharge doors, Western Chutes® leads
the industry with the model "AC" UL "B" labeled
1-1/2 hour fire rated horizontal discharge. Don't settle for "B
label Construction" (your
inspector won't) when building codes require a legal rated discharge
door.
 Automatic
Fire Sprinklers
155º automatic sprinklers are STANDARD on all Western Chutes®
located out of the flow of materials protected by a shield and
are accessible through the intake door for inspection and service.
 Clean & Odor
Free
Every chute includes a flushing spray head located just above the
top intake door and each chute joint is designed to contain the
water inside the chute. Western Chutes' "Chute Doctor®" automatic
cleaning and sanitizing system ensures your chute will stay clean
and healthy. Add our patented odor control systems and you'll never
have to worry about the odor and disease found in other manufacturer's
chutes.
