Stockpile management equipment requires high technology

摘要

Stockpile management is an important part of the coal handling process from the mine to customer. Virtually all coal producers and consumers make use of stockpiles at their facilities, either to serve as a buffer between material delivery and processing, acting as a strategic stock against supply interruptions; or to enable coal blending to meet quality requirements. With mounting pressure to minimise the capital tied up in stockpiles, there is a need to optimise coal inventories. Factors such as stockpile size, turnover period, timely stock management, and the ability to take advantage of cheaper coals have all assumed greater importance.
