SILENCER'S optional high test rebar slotted floor will outlast the mild steel ¾" channel slotted floors used on other chute brands.
SILENCER chutes utilize 4 squeeze panel connector points with large pyramid gussets.
The SILENCER gussets cover 40% of the chute's top main frame, equalizing the squeeze pressure from front to rear on squeeze panels. To cut costs, some chutes use only 2 squeeze connector points, creating a twisting effect on the squeeze gates, with most of the pressure being at the front of the chute. The twisting effect starts breakage and starts frame failure.
Take out one bolt, remove drop bar, clean out hair and debris, and re-install drop bar to add years to chute life.
We think welded on components only hinder a sound maintenance program.
Our drop latches and drop bars are replaceable. SILENCER'S oil-based polyethylene bearings are self lubricating, non-corrosive and easily replaceable, and or greaseable rocker shaft roller bearings provide extra smooth action and long life on Heavy Duty Feedlot and Commercial Pro models. SILENCER'S modular design makes replacement of all main pivot points simple. Head and taildoors are interchangeable by quickly pulling pins and bolts.
Grease zerks are installed for superior maintenance.
SILENCER'S main cylinder pins are drilled, tapped and grease zerks installed for superior maintenance on SILENCER Heavy Duty and Commercial Pro models. SILENCER is the only chute with this feature and we question other brands claims of "no linkage" or "wear points".
