Bucket Wheel Stacker/Reclaimer

Advanced technology and reliability


in Europes largest terminal
for coal and iron ore
6,000t/h stacking capacity, 4,500t/h reclaiming capacity. Boom length 60m.
Bucket Wheel Stacker/Reclaimer for iron ore, coal, coke and olivine.
EMO, Rotterdam, Netherlands

EMO, located at the entrance to Rotterdams seaport, is the largest import and export terminal
in Europe for dry bulk materials, with an annual throughput of 60 million tons.
In 2007 and 2012, Europes largest combined Bucket Wheel Stacker/Reclaimers, which were
designed, delivered and erected by thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions, were put into operation.
In order to achieve the requirement to operate the machine with coal and iron ore at the same
high capacity, the boom conveyor as well as the bucket wheel, are equipped with variable
speed drives.

thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions and EMO


- a long successful collaboration
Since the early 1970s thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions (previously
PWH) designed and supplied the entire unloading, loading and
stockyard equipment for the EMO terminal. The three world-wide
largest grab unloaders are feeding seven Bucket Wheel Stacker/
Reclaimers during the stacking operation. These machines are also
transporting the reclaimed material to one of the barge unloaders
or to the wagon loading systems with the latter ones being desi-
gned, fabricated and installed by tkIS as well.

Specially designed bucket wheel

Special design and features meets high customer demands


The special designed bucket wheel is driven by a slow motion
hydraulic motor. By using variable conveyor and bucket wheel
speeds the machine is able to reclaim coal and iron ore at the
same capacity.
