Outstanding span and high capacity

The coal storage is equipped with one stacker and two portal reclaimers serving a railcar loading station. The entire project was delivered turnkey, including installation.

In general, portal scraper reclaimers are used in buffer storages but can also be used to achieve, in combination with proper stacking methods, specified blending and homogenizing results.

For high reclaiming capacities of up to 6,000 t/h, TAKRAF Portal Reclaimers are equipped with twin booms evenly distributing the bulk material flow onto two booms.

For reclaimers applied in covered storages, the scraper boom is divided into a main and an auxiliary boom to cater for the limitation in height set by the building structure. The main and auxiliary boom are always firmly connected to each other in order to guarantee a continuous and smooth flow of bulk materials from auxiliary to main boom during the entire operation and under all conditions.
