What is a stacker reclaimer?
A stacker reclaimer is a large continuous handling machine used in bulk material stockyards. It excavates material with a bucket wheel and uses belt conveyors to stack and reclaim material, widely used in ports, power plants, mines and cement plants.
How does a stacker reclaimer work?
The bucket wheel rotates into the pile, scoops material and discharges it onto the onboard belt conveyor. Through slewing, luffing and traveling motions, the machine stacks material at the target position or feeds it to downstream systems for continuous stacking and reclaiming.
What are the main types of stacker reclaimers?
The main types include gantry stacker reclaimers, boom-type stacker reclaimers, bridge-type stacker reclaimers and circular stockyard stacker reclaimers, each suited to different stockyard layouts and operational needs.
What materials can a stacker reclaimer handle?
It can handle coal, iron ore, limestone, sand and aggregate, cement clinker, fertilizer, grain and other bulk materials, serving ports, power plants, mines, cement plants and chemical plants.
What are the main components of a stacker reclaimer?
The main components include the bucket wheel mechanism, boom belt conveyor, slewing mechanism, luffing mechanism, traveling mechanism, gantry or bridge structure, electrical control system and dust suppression system, supporting stacking, reclaiming and direct transfer modes.
How to choose a suitable stacker reclaimer?
Selection should consider material characteristics, stockyard layout, stacking and reclaiming capacity, stacking height and environmental requirements. A professional turnkey solution is recommended for system matching and long-term stable operation.
