The right Bucket Wheel Stacker - Reclaimer to meet your needs
Bucket wheel reclaimers are the ideal means of handling and moving large amounts of bulk materials in the shortest possible time. They can be designed as bucket wheel reclaimers or as combined bucket wheel stacker reclaimers for handling huge volumes of coal, ores, and other materials in ports, power plants, stockyards, or steel plants. Our bucket wheel reclaimers, which are the result of decades of experience and technical competence, combine robustness with outstanding speed and high throughputs. They are used worldwide in the handling of bulk materials such as coal, iron ore, petroleum coke, limestone, bauxite, lignite, phosphate, and other kinds of ore.
A tradition of innovation
At thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions we have fully integrated the innovative know-how from two companies with histories stretching back over a century and which were known throughout the world for their excellent bucket wheel stacker reclaimer solutions: PWH Anlagen & Systeme and DEMAG Lauchhammer.
Since 1970, we have installed a total of 328 units in 38 countries, of which 52 were installed in 12 countries in the past ten years.
Bucket wheel reclaimers
Bucket wheel reclaimers
Our boom bucket wheel reclaimers are machines designed to reclaim stockpiles on both sides of their rail track (parallel stockyard layout). The material is reclaimed from the stockpile into buckets as the bucket wheel rotates. Switching between stockpiles arranged in line (longitudinal stockyard layout) is also possible through luffing or slewing of the boom and subsequent long traveling. In combination with a separate stacker, this type of machine provides the highest flexibility for stockyard management operations, as well as enabling simultaneous stacking and reclaiming operations.
Combined bucket wheel stacker-reclaimers
Combined bucket wheel stacker-reclaimers
Our boom bucket wheel stacker-reclaimers combine the functions of a boom bucket wheel reclaimer and a stacker in a single machine. Thanks to a tripper car and reversible boom belt conveyor, this type of machine can also stack the incoming material into stockpiles. This functional integration means that boom bucket wheel stacker-reclaimers are a solution characterized by relatively low investment costs. Our combined bucket wheel stacker-reclaimers are available with a rigid, fold-down, retractable, shiftable or counter-directional tripper car.
