Boom-type Bucket-Wheel Reclaimer

This machine forms part of a complete material handling system awarded to TAKRAF in 2018 for both the plant’s raw material feed and finished product.

The system design brief called for the raw material (iron ore pellets) to be received from self-unloading barges and conveyed to a stockpile. From there, it is reclaimed to be conveyed to day-bins fed by a tripper car. From the day-bins, material is discharged onto weigh feeders and then conveyed through a screening system before feeding the HBI production plant. The finished product is received from the plant and conveyed to a second stockpile, from where it is stacked, reclaimed and fed to a load-out station for the loading of trucks or trains for onward transport.
