See Your Process Without Stopping It
The Flexible Sight Chute is a purpose-built connection piece used in bulk material handling lines — specifically where you need to connect two pieces of equipment with different vibration characteristics, and want to be able to visually inspect the product flow without opening the line.
The transparent inspection window lets operators see the material flowing through at any time — confirming flow is occurring, identifying blockages before they become stoppages, and spotting contamination or unusual material behaviour without stopping the line.
Key Features
- Flexible body — absorbs vibration between static and dynamic equipment. Prevents vibration transmission between a vibrating screen or hopper and a fixed pipe or bagging machine.
- Transparent inspection window — clear sight glass panel allows visual confirmation of product flow at any time.
- Dust-tight construction — no product escape at connection points. Maintains process containment.
- Easy to install and replace — sleeve-based design fits between standard flanges. Removable for cleaning or replacement without dismantling adjacent equipment.
Typical Installation Positions
- Between magnetic separator outlet and bagging machine inlet
- Between sieve separator discharge and downstream conveyor or hopper
- Between vibrating hopper outlet and screw conveyor or rotary valve inlet
- Anywhere in a process line where a static-to-vibrating connection is needed
Why "Flexible"?
Rigid connections between vibrating and static equipment transmit vibration throughout the structure — causing premature wear, loosening of fasteners, and noise. A flexible connection decouples the two equipment items, eliminating vibration transmission while maintaining a dust-tight material flow path.
