ThyssenKrupp Stockyard Handling Equipment

Stockyards have a central function in the field of materials handling. They serve as material buffers, reserve or blending storage between mining, processing and transhipping. They balance out fluctuations in the quantity and quality of raw materials. ThyssenKrupp has a

major share in the development of blending bed and stockyard equipment for circular or longitudinal storages, such as reclaimers, stackers, wagon or truck loading and unloading systems and belt conveyor systems

Reclaimers:

ThyssenKrupp scraper-type reclaimers, designed as bridge or side scrapers and semi- or full portal scrapers, guarantee a constant flow of homogeneous materials such as coal, limestone, marl, clinker, fertilizer, wood chips and many more. Bucket wheel reclaimers are the ideal means of handling and moving large amounts of bulk materials in the shortest possible time and can be designed as reclaimers or as combined stacker/reclaimers for handling huge volumes of coal, ores and other materials in ports, power plants, stockyards or in steel plants. Drum reclaimers and bridge-type bucket wheel reclaimers are robust systems for the high-performance handling and blending of bulk materials, especially when the materials are semi-hard to hard.

Stackers:

A major part of any large-scale stockyard operation is the stacker that deposits the bulk materials in pre-set patterns and systems. Stackers are designed in a wide variety of configurations depending upon the required throughput and extent of mobility: rail-mounted or crawler-mounted, with single or twin booms, with semi or fully-automatic control and with many other features dependent on the application.

Conveyors:

Conveyors in stockyards are the logical connection between loading, unloading and storing and blending. Multi-conveyor systems, long distance conveyors and a whole range of specialised conveyor belt systems - all of them have their own particular application. Enclosed conveyors are in ever-increasing demand, e.g. when materials have to transported through or near residential areas, or when the materials themselves are sensitive. For these applications ThyssenKrupp has developed the "Rollgurt" conveyor for dust free transport of loose materials such as limestone, cement or coal.
