Stacking & Reclaiming

Bruks Siwertell linear overpile portal reclaimers find their best use reclaiming materials from very wide piles or inside structures.

To span these wide distances reclaim booms are strengthened by structural supports that rest on tracks either side of a linear pile. Rather than cantilevering the boom using tall masts and cable systems the boom is supported from above with winches and cables routed through pulleys mounted onto the portal structure. Both ensure that it is possible to lift and control the position of a longer boom with great accuracy and stability.

Linear portal reclaimers are well suited for use with wood chips, hogged fuels and wood pellets as well as various minerals that tend to require covered storage areas in port including port ash, aggregates, limestone and many others.

In outdoor applications, the boom is generally the width of the pile, greater widths are possible than when using a cantilevered design. When overhead space is limited, for example indoor installations, it is possible to split the boom into two or three sections; all working together to achieve the same outcome. 

As with all the automated stacker reclaimer products by Bruks Siwertell, this style of reclaimer runs automatically and unattended. Sensors on the booms and weigh scales on the reclaim belt conveyor keep track of the operation of the boom and rakes, adjusting for sweep speed, bite depth and boom angle. A consistent, blended reclaim rate is achieved.
