Efficient Material Distribution for Bulk Handling Systems
Chantland MHS Conveyor Belt Trippers provide flexible, controlled discharge of bulk materials at multiple points along a conveyor line. Available in gravity or cross-belt configurations, these trippers are ideal for filling bins, bunkers, silos, or stockpiling free-flowing materials such as grain, fertilizer, and aggregates.

Why Choose Chantland Conveyor Belt Trippers
Since 1943, Chantland MHS has been engineering custom belt trippers that enhance the performance and versatility of bulk material handling systems. Designed for both new and retrofit applications, each tripper is built to deliver precision discharge, smooth operation, and long-term durability.
What you gain:
- Precise, controlled discharge of materials along the conveyor
- Flexibility to fill multiple storage points without extra conveyors
- High-capacity design for free-flowing bulk materials
- Compact, rugged construction for demanding environments
- Engineered solutions for both fixed and traveling applications
What Is a Conveyor Belt Tripper?
A conveyor belt tripper is a movable device mounted on a conveyor that allows material to be discharged at multiple points along the belt instead of just the end. It works by lifting and redirecting the belt, guiding materials off through a chute or secondary conveyor.
How It Works
- Belt Redirection: The conveyor belt passes over bend pulleys mounted on the tripper frame, creating a raised section.
- Discharge Control: As the belt curves upward, materials are redirected through a discharge chute or a cross-belt conveyor.
- Mobility: The tripper travels along rails or tracks on the main conveyor, allowing discharge at selected points.
- Drive Systems: Trippers can be moved manually, by cable/winch, or by a powered wheel system for precise positioning.
This design makes trippers an essential solution for processes that require uniform material distribution across bins, piles, or storage areas.
Key Design Features
- Single or dual-side discharge configurations
- Powered tripper movement via cable/winch assembly or powered wheels
- Crowned bend pulleys for positive belt tracking and longer belt life
- Cross-belt tripper option for shuttling side-to-side discharge
- Operator decks or crossover platforms available for maintenance and control access
- Custom-engineered systems for both new conveyors and retrofit applications
Types of Conveyor Belt Trippers
Gravity Trippers
- Simple, reliable design using gravity to discharge material
- Manually or cable-driven movement along the conveyor
- Ideal for lighter-duty or moderate-capacity applications such as grain or feed transfer
Cross-Belt Trippers
- Incorporate a short, secondary conveyor to discharge materials to one or both sides
- Can include side-to-side shuttling for layered stacking or uniform pile formation
- Suitable for high-capacity or automated material distribution in industrial facilities or agricultural facilities
