Circular Storage Systems in Mining Operations and Coal Stockyards

摘要

There are two types of circular storage systems which are in their features very different from each other. Depending on the application and the desired results, the circular stacker/reclaimer is either built with a cantilever reclaimer or a bridge-type reclaimer. While the cantilever scraper reclaimer is used for buffer storage, the circular stacker with bridge-type reclaimer is meant for storage and homogenization. Fig. 1 shows the interior of an iron ore concentrate storage system. Together with two other systems this covered circular stockyard was built by Schade for the Chador Malu iron ore mining company in Iran.Technical Data:Stacking capacity: 1 700 f/hReclaiming capacity: 2 500 f/hDiameter: 61 m
