What is chuting of concrete?

Chute is used to transport the concrete from where the mixing is done. Usually, it transports the concrete from the ground where the mixer machine is installed to a lower lever-like foundation. But sometimes, instead of being a part of a mixer machine, it can become a part of the transporting process like truck-mixed concrete or discharging plant mixed. And then with the help of a pump or any other lifting method, it is used to transport concrete to a greater height.

The chute is made of metal with a uniform slope. The slope should be flatter so that concrete does not segregate or separate during sliding. Chute slope can be adjusted for concrete mix. Sometimes the chute has a fixed shape. In that case, the mix must be adjusted so that it can slide without segregation.
