Original Equipment
SFSP refuse chutes are specially designed for use in flats, hotels,
hospitals, apartments, factories, condominiums, offices, commercial
complexes and shopping centers.

Indoor Chutes
The majority of refuse chutes are fitted internally within a building.
SFSP chutes can either pass through the floor slab of the building or
be fixed within a vertical shaft.

Outdoor Chutes
SFSP refuse chutes can be fixed externally to most types of building,
particularly useful when a refuse chute has to be provided after the
building has been finished or where it is not possible to replace in
the same location. External refuse chutes can be single or double
skinned. Please contact our technical department for further advice.

Choosing the Correct Size of Chute

SFSP provides a comprehensive range of refuse 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.

8 However we strongly recommend the use of 600 mm diameter

chutes, as in practical terms this diameter is the least likely to cause
any long term problems.

Appreciating that design and space considerations sometimes lead

to compromises, this table opposite is given as a guide to assist you
in choosing the correct diameter of chute.

 Refuse Chute Sizes
SFSP chutes are available with the following standard internal diameters:
500mm (20”), 550mm (22”), 600mm (24”)
700mm (28”), 800mm (32”), 900mm (36”)
N.B: We will also manufacture to customers special requirements.

Height
Varies according to individual building design.

SFSP provides chutes within the range of 1- 45 storeys, or from as small as 1 meter up to a maximum of
165-170 meters. Over this height two chutes should be provided, the first terminating at a mid building
level refuse collecting room, the second chute to start at mid-building level and terminating at ground
floor or basement level.

Shape
To give an unimpeded free flow of refuse within a chute, the best shape has proved to be circular,
SFSP refuse chutes therefore have a circular cross section. We will make square section chutes to
customers special requirements.

Refuse Chute Trunking

Cut to shape from flat metal sheet, mechanical rolled into an accurate cylindrical from. Vertical seams
are according to material type and gauge either lock seamed or welded, to give smooth, watertight
sealed joints.

The entire inner surface area of the trunking is smooth and free from any projections that will mpede
the free flow of refuse within the total vertical length of the chute.

Entry Section
This could be described as the most critical component of a refuse chute. If it is not designed and
manufactured correctly there is a probability the refuse chute will not work satisfactorily.

The entry sections of SFSP chutes are designed and manufactured within the constraints of BS
1703:1977 / BS 5906:1980 to ensure complete satisfaction.

Flat metal sheet is accurately cut and shaped by highly skilled craftsmen, vertical seams being welded
or lock seamed, horizontal are mechanically jointed or welded.

SFSP refuse chute entry sections have our specially designed Inner baffle, to prevent air or falling
refuse already present in the chute from accidentally blowing back when any refuse hopper is opened.

ELECTROMAGNETIC DOOR LOCK (ELECTRIC IN-
TERLOCK)
Introduction
Electromagnetic door locking systems are used to enhance the safety of garbage and linen disposal
chute systems; although not required by law, they considerably improve and ensure proper operation
of intake doors.

Application
Electric latches can be incorporated in tipping hopper and side-hinged door fixtures; they can be
coupled to warning light indicators, signal light indicators, smoke and fire alarms so that the doors
remain closed in an emergency situation. Coupled with timers they can be used to control and dictate
operating hours of the chute system. Door control is made at the central switchboard so that when one
door is open, all others remain closed.
This arrangement prevents injury to operating personnel by a falling bag should the chute be used
simultaneously at two different levels in disposal, for instance.

Design
Electromagnetic door locking systems are fitted under the filler frame on tipping hopper and bag intake
doors. In the door leaf a falling latch is incorporated which can be opened in an emergency by a simple
allen key.
The lock is operated via a green illuminated push button; a red indicator lamp signaling that the chute
has no access. All components of a door locking system and the operating controls are connected
during installation and the final connection to the power unit is done by the main contractor.

Operating instructions
1- All doors shall be locked when the chute cleaning systems are in operation.
2- Doors can only be opened individually, a feedback contact preventing opening of other doors; an
indicator lamp on the switchboard indicates that a door is open.
3- When all doors are locked it may be that the smoke detectors or fire alarms have been triggered.
4- When work is going on in the collection room, personnel safety should be ensured by closing all
doors to the system via the switchboard.

Supply requirements & specification

- Electro magnetic solenoid bolts.
- 220/240 volts. 50/60 Hz. 10 Amps max. or 120/240 volts. 50/60Hz 5 Amps max.

11 CHUTE TUBE & SOUND DAMPING

Chute Tube gives an unimpeded dumping of refuse within a chute, the best shape has
proved to be circular.

Sound Damping
All metal refuse chutes can produce, uncomfortable levels of noise. A factory applied coating
of a proven sound dampening compound will dramatically reduce noise level produced by
resonant vibrations in metal refuse chutes. Factory applied at the same
thickness as the metal substrate or more and over the total area of the
exterior surface of the refuse chute, (except refuse, hopper face and
side hinged door faces).

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 movement of loose and bagged
soiled linen.

Technical Information
SFSP linen or laundry chutes have the same basic specification as refuse chutes. For details on the
construction, material specification and choice please see previous pages. A full specification for SFSP
linen chutes can be found in this section.

Linen Chute Sizes

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

Linen Chute Doors

SFSP normally recommends the use of a 450 x 450 mm 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.

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.
