Application
Fitted internally or externally in hotels, hospitals and nursing homes.

Material Specification
Although not included in any British standard, Hardall linen chutes are manufactured to the same high quality as Hardall refuse chutes normally from stainless steel but also from galvanised steel or aluminised steel with material thickness selected from either 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2mm or 3mm.  Hardall linen chute doors are side hinged, self closing have a certified 2 hour fire rating and can also be smoke sealed.

Sizes
Normally supplied in circular section with internal diameters of 450mm, 500mm, 550mm, 600mm and 800mm.  Where possible Hardall always recommend the optimum size chute of 600mm diameter.

Finish
To meet the high standards expected most hotels and hospitals, hardall linen chute doors are manufactured entirely from high grade stainless steel.  The door face has a grained satin finish with matching stainless steel surround.

Design
Each chute is specifically designed using the latest CAD technology to meet customer requirements and to suit the building layout.  Generally a typical chute will comprise of two or three sections per floor connected by angle rings or a telescopic joint. An entry section holds the linen chute door and the chute is supported at each floor level using a special clamp band support frame.

Health & Safety
Hardall chutes are designed to be safe to operate.  Linen chute doors are finished with rounded edges and a hydraulic closer mechanism safely controls the speed of the door when closing.  An automatic 1 or 2hr fire door located underside of the first floor of the chute is where possible always installed above head height but easily accessible for re-arming.  Any electrical equipment complies with the latest IEE standards and is installed and tested by qualified engineers.

Hardall provide comprehensive and job specific method statement & risk assessment documentation at the start of each project and operator manuals at time of hand-over to comply with latest CDM regulations.

Accessories
The inclusion of electrical interlocks and additional fire control equipment within the overall design can aid in meeting the needs of most client specifications.

Chute Maintenance
Generally a basic chute should be maintenance free, however where electrical door interlocks are included, then Hardall will always recommend a preventative maintenance contract.
