Abstract:
A reclaiming and stacking system for conveying bulk material has an elongated yard conveyor for moving the bulk material in the longitudinal direction of the yard conveyor; a rail-mounted undercarriage straddling transversely the yard conveyor; first and second booms supported, at their respective inner ends, on the undercarriage. There are further provided first and second boom conveyors supported on and extending along the first and second booms, respectively; a bucket wheel supported at the outer end of the first boom for removing bulk material from a pile spaced from and along the yard conveyor and discharging it onto the first boom conveyor at the outer end thereof; a central chute supported within the outline of the undercarriage and having a discharge end oriented towards the yard conveyor; a first transfer arrangement for directly transferring bulk material from the inner end of the first boom conveyor to the inner end of the second boom conveyor; and a second transfer arrangement for transferring bulk material from the inner end of the first boom conveyor into the chute for deposition onto the yard conveyor.
