introduction
Uni- Metal chutes are very convenient, simple and low cost method of controlling and
disposing of refuse and linen in multi storey buildings.
Uni-Metal chutes meet the most stringent requirements of environmental health and
safety.
The inclusion of chute cleaning systems, sanitizing and disinfecting units,sound damping
and fire control equipment, within the overall design of chutes have greatly increased
their usage throughout the world. Uni-Metal chutes are fabricated to conform to:
British Standards 1703: 1977, BS 5906: 2005, and VDI 2162.

technicAL INFORMATION
Original Equipment
Uni-Metal 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.
Uni-Metal chutes can either pass through the floor slab of the building or be
fixed within a vertical shaft.
Outdoor Chutes
Uni-Metal 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.

Vents & Fans
Automatic Foul Air Exhaust Fan installed at the top of the chutes, usually
above roof level this ventilator maintains a smooth flow of fresh air within
the refuse chute.
Normally changing the air approximately 50 times per hour. The foul air
exhaust fan helps prevent the escape of any bad odors or explosive gases
released by aerosols etc, through refuse hoppers or into the refuse room. For
use with vent pipes of (9) 230 mm diameter or above.

Cleaning Equipment
Automatic Chute Cleaning
System
Specifically designed to clean the total vertical length of the internal
surface of all chutes. The system is factory fabricated as an integral
unit ready for immediate on site connection.
A cylindrical housing with replaceable stiff nylon brushes is
automatically lowered and raised by a geared electric motor. The
nylon brushes scrape and clean the internal surface as they move
down and up the chute. The water supply for flushing the chute, the
electric motor and the built in safety overloads, are all individually
controlled by a robust electric logic control circuit.

8 HOPPER DOOR
Hopper doors are provided in the service room on each floor and are designed to eject
loose or bagged refuse (discharge garbage) directly into a refuse chute or a container.
Hopper doors have an effective self-sealing system.
General
Uni-Metal refuse hoppers are supplied with uni-metal refuse chutes or supplied for
separate fitting as independent or replacement hoppers. Designed and can be eject
loose or bagged refuse directly into a refuse chute or a container.
Finish
Base and side cheeks from epoxy powder coated mild steel sheet.
Door facings in stainless steel.
Operation
Hopper door pivots on an anti vandal hinge and is counter balanced to be self closing
and self sealing against a fire resistant seal. Uni-Metal hoppers are specially designed to
prevent blockages inside refuse chutes.
Application
For use with refuse chutes of 500, 550, 600, 700, 800, and 900mm internal diameter or
as independent replacement hoppers.

Electromagnetic
Door Lock
(Electric Interlock)
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.
18
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.

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).

13 FIRE CUT OFF DOOR
Fire Cut Off Door has a horizontal rolling door held by a spring on each side connected to
a fusible link. In case of excessive heat (or fire) the link gets fused at 165 F (68C) causing
the door to roll shut. The discharge is 1.5 hours fire rated.

Linen Chutes
Technical Information
Introduction
Uni-Metal linen chutes are the most efficient method of quickly and economically
disposing of soiled linen in multi storey buildings.
The dirty linen is usually bagged before loading into the chute. Side hung doors with
large openings 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
Uni-Metal 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 Uni-Metal linen chutes can be found in this section.

42
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.
