stackerreclaimers

Stackerreclaimers are large industrial machines used in bulk material handling operations, primarily in industries like mining, ports, and large storage yards. Their primary function is to reclaim or extract bulk materials, such as coal, ore, or grain, from large stockpiles. These machines are essential for efficiently moving vast quantities of material from storage to processing or transportation.

A typical stackerreclaimer combines the functions of both a stacker and a reclaimer. As a stacker, it can distribute material onto a stockpile, often using a long boom. As a reclaimer, it uses a bucket wheel or other digging mechanism mounted on its boom to excavate material from the stockpile. The reclaimer then transfers this material to a conveyor system for transport away from the stockpile.

Stackerreclaimers are usually rail-mounted, allowing them to traverse the length of a stockpile. Their large size and robust construction enable them to handle high volumes of material. Different designs exist depending on the specific application, including bridge-type and portal-type reclaimers. Automation is also a common feature, allowing for precise control over the reclaiming process and minimizing manual intervention. Their efficiency and capacity make them indispensable for managing large-scale material inventories.
