Aggregate Loading Chute | Sand, Gravel & Stone
Heavy-Duty Telescopic Loading Chute for Sand, Gravel and Crushed Stone
What Is an Aggregate Loading Chute?
An aggregate loading chute is a telescopic discharge device used to load sand, gravel, crushed stone and similar granular materials into open trucks or railcars. Installed below a storage hopper or conveyor outlet, it guides material toward the receiving area while helping reduce uncontrolled drop height, spillage and dust dispersion.
For coarse or abrasive aggregates, the chute structure, flow passage and wear protection should be selected according to maximum particle size, bulk density, loading capacity and installation conditions. Optional dust-control arrangements can be incorporated where required.
How Aggregate Loading Chutes Improve Bulk Material Handling
Aggregate loading chutes help control material discharge by keeping the outlet closer to the truck bed or rising material pile. This limits uncontrolled free fall and helps reduce material scattering and airborne dust during loading.
For abrasive aggregates, reinforced material-contact surfaces and optional wear-resistant liners can help limit equipment wear. The final configuration depends on particle size, loading rate, discharge height and dust-control requirements.

Features
✅ Heavy-duty discharge structure for coarse and abrasive aggregates
✅ Flow passage sized according to particle size and required loading capacity
✅ Adjustable loading height for different truck configurations
✅ Optional wear-resistant liners for material-contact and impact areas
✅ Optional integrated dust-collection configuration for aggregate truck loading
✅ Compatible with storage hoppers and belt conveyor discharge points
Aggregate loading chutes are commonly installed below storage hoppers or belt conveyor discharge points. Where upstream material flow control is required, a sector gate or other suitable coarse-material discharge valve can be selected according to particle size, capacity and outlet dimensions.

Aggregate Truck Loading Project – 400 t/h per Unit
LVRUI supplied eight aggregate truck bulk loaders for a new aggregate production line project for Sinohydro Bureau 9 in Shaoyang County, Hunan, China. Each unit has a rated loading capacity of 400 t/h for loading crushed stone aggregates into trucks.

Applicable Materials and Operating Conditions
LVRUI aggregate loading chutes are primarily designed for sand, gravel, crushed stone, and crushed limestone. With appropriate structural configurations, they can also handle other granular and lump bulk materials, such as lump gypsum, coke, and similar materials.
Equipment selection depends on the maximum particle size, bulk density, moisture content, abrasiveness, material temperature, and required loading capacity. The chute dimensions, telescopic travel, and number of sections can be customized to suit different materials and installation conditions. For general material density reference data, see engineeringtoolbox.com. Actual bulk density should be confirmed for equipment selection.
An optional baghouse dust collection system can be provided where dust extraction is required. Materials with combustible dust or other special handling risks require additional safety evaluation.
Aggregate Loading Chute FAQs
What materials can an aggregate loading chute handle?
This equipment is designed for coarse and abrasive bulk materials such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, limestone and similar dry aggregates. It is commonly used at quarries, mining sites, aggregate terminals and building-material plants.
How does the chute help reduce dust during loading?
The telescopic design keeps the discharge point closer to the truck bed or material pile, helping reduce free-fall distance and airborne dust. An optional baghouse dust collection system can be provided according to the material and site requirements.
Can it be customized for different truck sizes and loading heights?
Yes. The telescopic travel, retracted and extended length, inlet and outlet dimensions, lifting mechanism and control options can be selected to match different truck dimensions and site layouts.
What equipment is commonly used with aggregate loading chutes?
Aggregate loading chutes are commonly installed below storage hoppers or belt conveyor discharge points. Material discharge can be controlled by a suitable sector gate or clamshell gate, depending on particle size and outlet dimensions. A baghouse dust collection system can be added where dust extraction is required.
What is the difference between an aggregate loading chute and a cement loading chute?
Aggregate loading chutes are designed for coarse and abrasive materials such as sand, gravel and crushed stone, so they emphasize impact resistance and replaceable wear protection. Cement loading chutes handle fine powders and place greater emphasis on sealing, displaced-air control and dust extraction.
What information is required for an aggregate loading chute quotation?
Please provide the material, maximum particle size, bulk density, moisture content, required capacity, loading height, telescopic travel, receiving vehicle dimensions, power supply, dust-control requirements and site drawing.
