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 26):
The transfer chute of  claim 25 , wherein said plurality of raised portions comprises first and second raised portions which are arranged to form, in use, a shock of granular material within the chute.
