Stacker-reclaimer

In “endless” circular stockyards, the material is stored in a circle, or also referred to as a ring stockpile, by a spreader that can be swiveled around a central column. A reclaimer, which can also be rotated around the center axis of the building, moves the material to a bottom hopper located underneath the center column where the material is received by a tunnel conveyor and transported further under the circular building. Due to their compact design, FAM circular stacker-reclaimers are well suited for the roofed storage of bulk materials. In contrast to longitudinal stockyards, the continuous process of simultaneous loading and unloading of a single circular building is possible without restrictions.
