APPLICATION TIP
Overflow Chutes
What is an overflow chute on a cone and why would you want to use it?
Safety
An overflow chute allows a safe and effective location for excess material in the system to go without overflowing the top of the cone hopper. Uncontrolled material can create safety and maintenance issues on walkways near the cone. Some plants such as the Cedarapids module product line can be setup for both open circuit and closed circuit configurations. In an open circuit layout overflow material is deposited to the ground and in a closed circuit layout overflow material is directed back to the under crusher belt.
Maximize Production
Cone crushers produce best when the cone head is always fully covered with material, also known as choke feeding the cone. In a closed circuit system where the cone crusher output is recirculated across a screen and then back to the same cone, an overflow chute will bypass excess material on to the recirculation conveyor provide surge capacity in the system. In addition to safety as mentioned above, there are many benefits to this including:
- Production rate and material shape
- In some cases especially with portable equipment, a well used overflow chute can reduce the need of a more costly surge bin
- No sensors or computers required to monitor flow levels creating a simple and reliable way of maximizing production
If your plant is fitted with an overflow chute in a closed circuit configurations it is ideal to run the plant with a constant minimal material flow down the overflow to maximize the production through the cone and produce the best shape. If the amount of material overflowing increases, the operator will need to reduce the feeder speed to the plant to balance out the system.
SERVICE TIP

TEAM MEMBER HIGHLIGHT
Ryan Mumm
What are your responsibilities as the Lead Engineer - Vibratory NPD?
I’m responsible for leading vibratory new product development. Working with our product managers and customers to make sure we design new products that meet our customer’s needs. We are constantly exploring new ideas and testing them to make sure we provide the best products. We are currently working on several projects that focus on improving the strength of our machines and new features that make for easier maintenance.
How long have you been with Terex?
I’ve worked for Terex 12 years. I started as a Design Engineer focused on portable wheeled plants and eventually became a Senior Design Engineer on the wheeled plant team. While on the wheeled plant team I was involved with designing and launching many of our portable plants, like the CRJ3750, CRH1313R, & CRH1111R. I’ve been in my current role as Lead Engineer-Vibratory NPD for over 2 years now and I’m excited for our team to launch the new Simplicity ESX screen soon.
A fun fact or what do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I raced motocross in my younger years. I still enjoy riding dirt bikes with my kids and touring the country on my motorcycle.
