of using the Discrete Element Method to Design and Analyze Chutes:

• Find problems at the design stage not when you first start the conveyors.
• Optimize the material flow.
• Minimize dust and material degradation.
• Minimize abrasion to the belt and chute.

of using Chute Maven:

• Keep your proprietary design techniques and ideas proprietary. You run the software in your own office.
• Run as many simulations as you desire.
• A very easy user interface lets you focus on the chute design and not the modeling.
