Stacking Tubes are a form of controlled outdoor product storage, often used in the coal and aggregate industries. Typical stacking tubes are 10' to 12' in diameter with openings in the tube walls for material to flow out of. Exiting material forms a conical pile.
The openings are typically steel framed with rubber dust flaps. The feed conveyors can land on the top of the stacking tube, which acts as an end support.
A variation on the classic stacking tube is the support tube. These have no openings and are utilized instead of steel bents to support conveyors. They offer a reduced footprint and increased durability in harsh environments.
