Mobile Stacking Bridge

TAKRAF supplied the copper ore leaching system consisting of the agglomeration plant, the on/off leach pad, as well as the waste disposal facility.

The Mobile Stacking Bridge (MSB) forms part of the stacking and reclaiming system for the on/off heap leach pad.

The application of MSBs is not only restricted to operating across on/off heap leach systems and the technology can be applied across a wide range of areas. The most significant advantage of the crawler mounted MSB is its ability to operate continuously without interruption and not require any downtime to shift or relocate.

MSBs are designed with a reduced number of bridge segments which provide the following advantages:

• Fewer crawler units being required which results in lower overall costs, decreased maintenance and decreased equipment control (leveling) complexity
• Reduced operating expenses
• Increased structural design reliability according to fatigue loads (bolted instead of welded)

A retractable tripper stacker conveyor allows dumping on both sides of the bridge (low and high cast operation).
