Choosing the Correct Size of Chute Floor Support Frame

SFSP provides a comprehensive range of refuse & Clamp Band
chutes, both in size and material choice.
The choice of materials to be used are covered
thoroughly elsewhere, the choice of refuse chute
diameter is shown on this page. Historically, the most
Fire Sprinkler (optional)
common size of refuse chutes were 375 mm and 450
mm. However we strongly recommend the use of
600 mm diameter chutes, as in practical terms this
Hopper
diameter is the least likely to cause any long term (EXISTING CHUTES ONLY)
problems. Appreciating that design and space
considerations sometimes lead to compromises, the
table opposite is given as a guide to assist you in
choosing the correct diameter of chute.

Floor Support Frames

Cut, shaped and drilled from 35x35x3mm or (38x38x5mm) mild steel angle with a rigid, welded
construction. The frame holds a metal clamp band. The frame is rustproofed for internal use and hot dip
galvanized for external use.
Angle Ring Joints

Used to join certain section of trunking. A factory fitted joint, to ensure chute stability, cut shaped and
rolled from 25x25x3mm m.s. angle. Rustproofed for internal use and hot dip galvanized for external use.
Angle ring joints are firmly bolted together and sealed during field erection.
Slip Joints
Mechanically swaged into the trunking, the slip joint gives up to 75mm tolerance. These joints are sealed
during field erection with factory supplied sealant.
Material Specification & Choice

SFSP strongly recommends the use of stainless steel for the manufacture of refuse chutes. Stainless steel
has the advantage of being resistant to the humidity, acid and alkalis contained within refuse. Stainless
steel has no applied coating to wear off and most important has very high impact strength. For economy,
SFSP also provides chutes from both galvanized steel and aluminized steel (Aluminized Steel to American
Standards). Galvanized steel and aluminized steel, whilst not having the same qualities as stainless steel,
are still used extensively for refuse chutes. We can also manufacture chutes in aluminum though, due to
the softness of the material, we would only recommend its use where low weight is a key factor.
Authority
Uni-Metal refuse chutes are manufactured to conform to (where applicable):
British Standards 1703: 1977 and BS 5906: 2005 where applicable and our standard design.

Introduction
All metal refuse chutes can produce, in certain circumstances,
uncomfortable levels of noise. A factory applied coating of a proven
sound dampening compound will dramatically reduce noise level pro-
duced by resonant vibrations in metal refuse chutes.

General
Uni-Metal refuse hoppers are supplied with uni-metal refuse chutes or sup-
plied for separate fitting as independent or replacement hoppers. Designed
to eject loose or bagged refuse directly into a refuse chute or a container.
Materials and manufacture

Factory fabricated with a robust welded steel construction. The double
skinned satin stainless steel facings have a special fire resistant core giving a
1 1/2 hour fire rating.
Finish
Base and side cheeks from epoxy powder coated mild steel sheet.

►Linen Chutes
Technical Information
Stainless steel
Introduction Trunking
Uni-Metal linen chutes are the most efficient method of quickly and Self Closing
economically disposing of soiled linen in multi storey buildings. Stainless steel
Side Hinged Door
The dirty linen is usually bagged before loading into the chute. Side
hung doors with large openings are therefore the normal standard on
linen chutes. Hospitals generate about 3.0 kgs. of soiled linen per bed
per day and a similar figure can be used for hotels. The increasing cost
of using lifts and maintaining labour in hotels and hospitals reinforces
the decision to install a linen chute.
Application
Original equipment installed in hospitals and hotels for the vertical Angle Ring Joint
movement of loose and bagged soiled linen.

Technical Information
Uni-Metal linen or laundry chutes have the same basic specification as
Clamp Band with 3
refuse chutes. For details on the construction, material specification mm Rubber Insent
and choice please see previous pages. A full specification for Uni-Met-
al linen chutes can be found in this section.
Linen Chute Sizes

Available in either 600mm or 800mm diameters though in practice the 600mm diameter is adequate for
most purposes.
Linen Chute Doors

SFSP normally recommends the use of a 450 x 450mm door for use with linen chutes and would also
recommend the use of electric interlocks. Linen chute doors are side hung on stainless steel hinges, with
either separate or master keyed locks. The doors are fully self closing on an efficient hydraulic self closer.
Labels can be attached bearing the message ’LINEN ONLY’ in english and/or the local language.
Fire Safety
To meet British Standards of fire safety an automatic fusible linked fire shutter door with a 1 1/2 hour fire
rating should be fitted to the bottom of the linen chute, in the linen collection room. Fire sprinklers are also
recommended to be fitted at every second floor. The sprinklers are fitted inside the chute entry
section and do not interfere with the loading or fall of the soiled linen.
Electric Interlocks
To give increased operator safety we strongly recommend the use of ”time delay” interlocks inside hung
door linen chutes.
Accessories
The majority of accessories are available with linen chutes as are deceleration tracks, trolleys and
containers for carrying bagged or loose linen-the range can be seen in the containers section.
SFSP
19 Linen Chutes
Deceleration Tracks
Soiled linen bags, when fully loaded, can weigh
between 25 to 50kgs, dependent on size and the
manner in which they are packed. A 50kgs solidly
packed bag of soiled linen achieves a reasonably high
terminal velocity and it is in this type of situation that
SFSP recommends the use of deceleration tracks. For
buildings of up to 5 storeys, a short deceleration track
should suffice. Obviously, the higher the building the
longer the length of deceleration track. Appreciating
that floor space is always at a premium, SFSP offers,
curved and helical deceleration tracks, to achieve
the same result in less space. Deceleration tracks
can also be used to bring the bagged linen directly
onto a sorting table. Made from stainless steel and
jointed by R.S. angle rings. Support stands are made
from R.S. angle, painted ready for bolting to floor or
wall. Illustrated are standard types. Other lengths
and models are available to customer specification to
match height and width of the linen chute.

Zinc coating surface finish

Normal or regular spangle
This finish is obtained during normal solidification of a hot-dip zinc coating on steel, and
results in the formation of a coating which exhibits either no spangle or zinc crystals of
different sizes and brightness. However, the zinc appearance has no effect on either the
quality or corrosion resistance of the coating.
Flattened minimized spangle

This zinc coating finish is obtained by restricting the normal zinc crystal growth followed
by the application of a skin pass process.
This finish is recommended for applications where a high gloss paint finish is required.
It is available for zinc coatings mass up to Z275, and a maximum material thickness of
1.20 mm if passsivation is required, or a maximum thickness of 1.60 mm if passivation is
not required.

Notes:
- DX 51D Bending and profiling quality in ASTM is CS Type B (Commercial Steel Type B)
- Hot – dip galvanized steel is produced on continuous zinc coating lines from either cold rolled (thickness range 0.27 to 2.0 mm)
or hot rolled (thickness range 2.01 to 3.0 mm) steel substrate; it is produced to the requirements of EN 10327, EN 10326, EN 10142,
EN 10143, ASTM A 653M (Grade 33)
- EN 10327 supersedes EN 10142
- Hot rolled substrate
Due to the nature of the hot rolling process, surface blemishes such as surface scratches and coil breaks which may be high
lighted by the zinc coating, can occur on materials with a thickness of greater than 2.01 mm. Neither of these defects will affect the
functionality of the materials.
- Wet storage corrosion “white rust”
Normally light white staining on galvanized steel is not a reason for concern.
Either under a heterogeneous film of water, or under permanent condensation, white rust appears on the surface of the steel sheets.
It is a precipitation of basic salts of zinc Zn (OH)2 that combines with CO2 to form a protective layer called Zinc Hydroxycarbonate.
- In case of ASTM specification, the specification of hot-dip galvanized steel sheet was unified as ASTM A653. - However the former
specifications likely to ASTM A526, A527, A528 are also used.
- Bending Quality of EN specification is called Lock Forming Quality (LFQ) in JIS or ASTM.

Pure aluminium, has little strength, but possesses high electrical conductivity, reflectivity, and corrosion resistance.
For this reason, a wide variety of aluminium alloys have been developed.
Some Aluminium Alloys:

5052 Aluminium
6063 Aluminium
G.1- 5052 Aluminium

5052 is the alloy most suited to forming operations, with good workability and higher
strength than that of the 1100 or 3003 alloys that are commercially available.
5052 has very good corrosion resistance, and can be easily welded. 5052 is not a good choice
for extensive machining operations, as it has only a fair machinability rating.

6063 is often called architectural aluminium for two reasons – first, it has a surface finish that is far smoother than the other
commercially available alloys, and second, its strength is significantly less (roughly half the strength of 6061), making it suited
for applications where strength is not the foremost consideration.
6063 is rated “Good” for forming and cold working operations, “Excellent” for anodizing, and “Fair” for machining.

2-Zinc Electroplating after fabrication /ASTM B633

In the electroplating process, the part to be zinc coated is immersed
in a solution of zinc ions.
An electric current causes the zinc to be deposited on the part.
Zinc plated parts typically have a zinc coating of 0.2 to 0.5 mil (5µm
to 25 µm) and are recommended for dry indoor use.

. Epoxy Coating powder types (EP)
. Polyester coating powder (SP)
. Polyester / Epoxy coating powder (SP / EP)
Epoxy coating powder types (EP) (5-15 µm) / Internal

EP coating powders possess very good chemical resistance and excellent mechanical values
such as high elasticity or impact resistance. Epoxy powders are used for corrosion – resistant
applications. They have no physiologically negative characteristics. One disadvantage is
their tendency to “ go chalky” and turn yellow under external factors
Polyester coating powder (SP) (25 µm) / External

Polyester coating powders are weather proof and do not “go chalky”, so they can be used
out – doors. They have good mechanical properties such as blow and impact resistance and
good adherence, which means that such later processes as sawing, drilling, or machining
are also possible.
Polyester / Epoxy coating powder (SP / EP) / Internal & External

The mixing ratio between epoxy resin and polyester resin varies between 60 / 40 and 10
/ 90. The resultant powder films are far more resistant to yellowing and less liable to “ go
chalky”, and also have excellent mechanical qualities.
