Abstract:
The present invention relates to a transfer chute ( 100 ) for granular material, comprising a chute body defining a flow pathway ( 120 ) for granular material, a raised portion ( 110 ) having an inclined surface ( 111 ), and a splitter member ( 130 ) arranged proximal to the raised portion ( 110 ) for, in use, dividing a flow of granular material over the raised portion into first portion in first conduit ( 100 ) and a second portion in a second conduit ( 300 ). In some embodiments, a channel ( 150 ) is disposed between the first and second conduits ( 100; 300 ) to transpose a vertical arrangement of first and second portions of granular material within the chute ( 10 ). In this way, separation by particle size or density in the flow may be reversed.

Claim (Index 7):
The transfer chute of  claim 2 , wherein the conduit is arranged to direct the second portion vertically above the first portion within the chute body whilst preventing mixing of the first and second portions of the granular material.
