Fully Automated Stacker

Fully Automated Stacker

The bulk material is stacked onto piles by the stacker/reclaimer with its tilting boom. For reclaim, the material is picked up by a bucket wheel and transported by a belt system for loading into ships or railway wagons. Stacking and reclaiming are to be handled in a fully automatic fashion without an operator on the equipment. The terrain model is the basis for calculating moving commands given to the three moving axes of the stacker/reclaimer. Algorithms stored in the system lead to the optical generation of stockpiles and ensure a strategic
reclaiming of the material.

The result: high and constant outputs without overloading the stacker/reclaimer. The real-time terrain model makes sure that even stockpiles that have been changed manually or trimmed by wheel loaders may be reclaimed automatically. The representation of the overall stockyard including an up-to-date view of the stockpiles and color-coded stockpile heights supports job planning and provides an overview of the stockyard utilization.
