Residential Gravity Chute

Category:

Description

Trash chutes are an integral part of most multi-story residential buildings and they enable tenants on each floor to dispose of their trash and recyclables conveniently and quickly without having to carry it down to the trash room.

Each R.D.I. chute system is custom designed and manufactured to fit our client’s specific building using our state of the art 3-D design software. Once the design has been completed and approved the fabrication begins. Unlike our competitors our chute riser is “spiral formed” and not rolled on a set of plate rolls. This manufacturing technique allows us to create chute systems that are much stronger than seam welded chutes and more importantly significantly quieter. The unique spiral seam that runs the full length of the chute riser helps mitigate the transfer of noise through the chute wall itself; which eliminates the need for the application of a sound deadening membrane on the outside of the riser. Want proof? Let Reaction Distributing Inc. design and fabricate your next chute system.
