Bucket Chain Excavator

The Bucket Chain Excavator store, is designed particularly for sticky bulk materials. The store consists of two or more longitudinal stockpiles stacked according to the Windrow method. While one pile is being stacked, the other is reclaimed at right angles to the direction of stacking. A capacity of each pile corresponding to between 3 1/2 and 7 days' production requirements is normally recommended. The store normally has two stacking bridges, one at either end. The material enters the store on a rubber belt conveyor running along one side. It is discharged onto the upper conveyor on the stacking bridge in operation and proceeds to the lower reversible shuttle conveyor which stacks the material longitudinally according to the Windrow method. The Bucket Chain System, supported by the scraper arm, is suspended at a fixed angle from the bridge girders. Starting at the pit-wall a pre-determined cut of material is made by moving the reclaimer in the longitudinal direction into the pile. Subsequently, material is reclaimed from the full pile face when the Bucket Chain System traverses to the opposite pit-wall. A new cut in the longitudinal direction is made and the Bucket Chain System traverses in the opposite direction.
