Key Equipment for coal handling in modern

powerplants

Comparison with Bucket Wheel Reclaimers

TAKRAF Portal Reclaimer
Comparison Scraper Reclaimers / Bucket wheel Stacker/Reclaimers

constant output of material flow High fluctuation in material flow depending on slewing
angle of S/R
good blending efficiency from pile low defined blending from pile

easy to automate complicated and very sophisticate to automation

produces gently shaped piles produces irregular shaped piles

additional stacker needed combined machine doing stacking and reclaiming

stockyard easy to cover stockyard difficult to cover due to counterweight

high flexibility for local digging limitd flexibiliy for local digging

Stackers and Reclaimer can pass each other Combines bucket wheel stacker Reclaimers on one
(therefore high flexibility in stockpile management) common rail can not pass each other
(unflexible system makes material management
challenging)
