measuring chute
A bin installed adjacent to the shaft bottom in skip winding. The capacity of the chute is equal to that of the skip used, ranging from 4 to 10 st (3.6 to 9.1 t). Bin-feeding arrangements differ but may be by a steelplate conveyor from a surge bunker that in turn receives the ore or coal from the mine cars or a trunk conveyor. A measuring chute ensures a quick and correct loading of skips without spillage. Immediately the skip is positioned in line, the measuring chute bottom door opens and material is discharged into the skip.
