    摘要: A flexible funnel element attachable to a holder funnel element to form a funnel section of a material guide chute. The funnel elements include releasable connections to able the flexible elements to be interchanged at the holder elements when worn. Due to the modular construction of the funnel sections, the guide chute has component parts of different materials such that selected components may be optimized for wear resistance and maintaining the free flow of material through the chute.
