Features
1. CHUTE CLEANING
- SPRINKLER / MANUAL CLEANING SYSTEM
- PVC piping is used along the length of the chute which is connected to the main water tank of the building.
- Handy sprayer tool is connected to water nozzle and used for deep cleaning of the chute, throat and intake door at each floor.
- Solid cone profile discharge sprinklers located at all floors behind the door opening for cleaning issues.
2. DISINFECTING AND SANITIZING UNIT
- Disinfectants are added in normal water line by motorized pump during cleaning cycle.
- This unit is installed at roof level which is operated by electrically control panel / manually.
- Disinfectant and sanitizing unit overcomes the problem associated with the chutes-strong odours.
3. FIRE SAFETY
- Glass bulb sprinklers installed inside the chute in each floor / alternate floor / lower initial floor.
4. SEGREGATED GARBAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM
- More than one user cannot use garbage system at a time.
- Diverter link is set at the discharge end of the garbage chute.
- Mechanically operated rotating arm diverts the Dry garbage and collected in separate bin.
- LED Panel & Waste Selection at each intake door.
- Close all intake door while maintenance & cleaning operation.
- Single door access at a time.
Usage of Garbage & Linen Chute System
How It Work
1. Chute Design and Installation:
- Garbage and linen chutes are installed vertically or at an incline within buildings, typically in multi-story structures such as hotels, hospitals, residential buildings, or commercial complexes.
- The chutes consist of a series of interconnected metal or plastic tubes, with access doors or hatches on each floor for depositing waste or linens.
2. Access and Disposal:
Users access designated chute openings located on different floors to dispose of garbage or soiled linens. These openings are strategically placed in common areas or utility rooms for easy access. Once items are deposited into the chute, they begin their journey downwards.
3. Segregation and Direction:
- In some configurations, separate chutes may be provided for garbage and linens, ensuring proper segregation of waste streams.
- Gravity serves as the driving force, guiding the materials through sloped channels towards the collection point at the base of the chute system.
4. Gravity-Powered Movement:
- Gravity plays a crucial role in the functioning of the chute system.
- As materials are deposited into the chute, they naturally flow downwards, propelled by gravity. This eliminates the need for mechanical assistance, making the system simple and reliable.
5. Centralized Collection
- At the bottom of the chute system, a central collection area gathers the accumulated waste and linens.
- This centralized collection point facilitates efficient removal by maintenance staff or service personnel, who can then dispose of the materials appropriately.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning:
- Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the smooth operation and cleanliness of the chute system.
- Periodic cleaning and disinfection prevent odors and microbial growth, maintaining hygiene standards throughout the building. Mechanical components are also inspected and maintained to prevent malfunctions.
7. Diverse Applications:
- The Garbage & Linen Chute System finds applications in various settings, including hotels, hospitals, apartment complexes, and office buildings.
- In healthcare facilities, for instance, it facilitates the safe disposal of contaminated linens, while in hospitality establishments, it streamlines waste management processes for guests and staff alike.
8. Compliance and Regulations:
- Garbage and linen chutes must comply with building codes, sanitation regulations, and fire safety standards to ensure they meet the necessary requirements for structural integrity, ventilation, and emergency evacuation procedures.

Benefits of Garbage & Linen Chute
1. Convenience:
- Garbage and linen chute systems offer a convenient way for residents, guests, or staff to dispose of waste and soiled linens without having to carry them through hallways or stairwells.
- This saves time and effort, especially in multi-story buildings where transporting waste manually can be cumbersome.
2. Space Efficiency:
Chute systems help maximize usable space within buildings by eliminating the need for individual trash cans or linen bins on each floor.
This can free up valuable floor space for other purposes, such as storage or common areas, and contribute to a more efficient use of building resources.
3. Improved Hygiene:
- By providing a sealed and enclosed pathway for waste and linens, chute systems help contain odors and prevent the spread of contaminants within the building.
- Proper ventilation and sanitation measures further enhance hygiene standards and contribute to a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.
4. Reduced Labor Costs:
Garbage and linen chute systems streamline waste collection and linen handling processes, reducing the need for manual labor associated with emptying individual bins or transporting linens to laundry facilities.
This can lead to cost savings on maintenance and janitorial services.
5. Enhanced Safety:
- Chute systems help minimize the risk of accidents or injuries associated with manual waste handling, such as trips, falls, or strain-related injuries.
- By providing a centralized and controlled disposal method, chutes promote safer waste management practices for building occupants and maintenance personnel.
6. Odor Control:
- Garbage chutes are equipped with ventilation systems and odor control measures to minimize unpleasant odors and maintain a fresh indoor environment.
- Linen chutes may also incorporate sanitation features to prevent the spread of odors or contaminants associated with soiled linens.
7. Increased Property Value:
- Buildings equipped with modern and well-maintained garbage and linen chute systems may command higher property values and rental rates due to the added convenience and amenities they offer to residents or tenants.
- These systems can be attractive selling points for potential buyers or renters looking for efficient waste management solutions.
8. Environmental Benefits:
- By promoting centralized waste collection and recycling practices, chute systems contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint associated with waste transportation and disposal.
- Encouraging recycling and composting through chute systems further enhances their eco-friendly credentials and supports sustainable living practices.
