What are stacker reclaimers?

A heavy-duty stacker reclaimer from Bootec handles material ranging from coal to iron ore pellets found in steel mills, coal yards, and transfer stations, primarily functioning for stacking and reclaiming materials.

Stacker reclaimer machines typically have a boom that is capable of reaching over the top of the stack of materials used for reclamation and a bucket or claw that can grab the material and stack it.

Types of Stacker Reclaimers

There are two types of stacker reclaimers: bridge type and bucket-wheel.

Bridge-type stacker reclaimers have a bridge that spans the width of the stack. They are used for stacking and reclaiming material in a single row or stack.

Bucket-wheel stacker reclaimers, on the other hand, have a bucket wheel that spins around a central axis, intended for stacking and reclaiming material in multiple rows or stacks.

Stacker Reclaimers are common in various industries, such as mining, power generation, and port operations. They are typically used to stack material on one side of a stockpile and reclaim it from the other side.
