Application
Port Industry
- Bulk Cargo Handling at Terminals
Bucket wheel reclaimers are extensively used at bulk cargo terminals in ports. For example, at coal terminals, they reclaim coal from stockpiles and transfer it to ship loaders or other transportation systems for vessel loading. At ore terminals, they handle materials like iron ore and copper ore, transferring them from stockyards to conveyor belts for processing or transport. Their high reclaiming capacity greatly improves port throughput efficiency and helps reduce vessel turnaround time. - Stockyard Management
In bulk cargo stockyards at ports, bucket wheel reclaimers are used for stacking and reclaiming materials. They can stack materials neatly according to set patterns and accurately reclaim from specific locations when needed. Through automated control systems, these machines execute precise stacking and reclaiming operations, optimizing storage capacity and material turnover efficiency.
Mining Industry
- Material Transfer after Open-Pit Mining
In open-pit mines, extracted ores are typically stockpiled in designated areas. Bucket wheel reclaimers are used to reclaim these ores and transfer them to beneficiation plants or processing facilities. - Tailings Management
Mining operations generate large volumes of tailings. Bucket wheel reclaimers are used for tailings recovery and storage management. When tailings contain valuable components, the reclaimer can transfer them to reprocessing equipment. For long-term storage, the machine stacks tailings in an organized manner, reducing land use and facilitating future reclamation or environmental treatment.
Power Industry
- Coal Supply for Thermal Power Plants
In thermal power plants, bucket wheel reclaimers are critical for the coal supply system. They reclaim coal from stockpiles and deliver it to conveyor systems for further crushing, screening, and processing before reaching the boiler’s coal bunker. Their stable performance ensures a reliable coal supply, meeting the plant’s high demand and supporting continuous power generation.
