3.2.5. INLETS/LOADER
The loader must load in same direction that the belt travels, and material should
move from spouts and gates at the same speed as the belt.
Figure 3.9 Standard Inlets - Flat Top w/ Matching Flange and Control Gate
Important: Off-center loading is harmful to the belt, idlers, and shafting, and will cause belt-
alignment problems.
Custom loaders can be designed for specific overhead clearance considerations.

GATES
Gates control the flow of material down the back slope of the inlet when the gate
opens (Figure 3.10).

SKIRTS
The skirts prevent side spillage of material and keep the load centered on the
belt.
