Abstract:
A flexible funnel element attachable to a holder funnel element to form a funnel section of a material guide chute. The funnel elements include releasable connections to able the flexible elements to be interchanged at the holder elements when worn. Due to the modular construction of the funnel sections, the guide chute has component parts of different materials such that selected components may be optimized for wear resistance and maintaining the free flow of material through the chute.

Claim (Index 11):
A funnel section arranged to form a part of a material guide chute, the funnel section comprising:\n a flexible funnel element; and a holder funnel element releasably attached to the flexible funnel element to form an axially extending assembly, wherein the flexible funnel element has a flexibility and an axial length greater than the holder funnel element, the flexible funnel element including a radial facing surface positionable against a radial facing surface of the holder funnel element to allow the flexible and holder funnel elements to be interconnected axially to form the funnel section and at least one connection element provided respectively at the flexible funnel element and the holder funnel element to cooperatively engage and connect the flexible and holder funnel elements axially.
