Description of a Reclaimer
Slewing speed, long travel step advance, bench height or any combination
of the motions may be varied to maintain the precise loading rate with minimal
rate variability as the bucket wheel cuts through the pile geometry. As the
bucket wheel reaches the end of its slew the Reclaimers shall advance along
the rails in position for the next cut, as the direction of slew is reversed. If
reclaim is stopped due to hatch changes or other reasons, and is then
re-initiated, the Reclaimers shall restart the reclaiming operation as if without
interruption.
Machines are designed for manual and semi-automatic operation.
Reclaimer Is capable of reclaiming anywhere along the length of the berms
within its operational range, forwards and backwards in the four quadrants,
and is capable of reclaiming various lengths of stockpiles.

Operational
Operational Processes-
A Reclaimer has to perform the following operations in order to carry
Out Reclaiming operation-
1. BOOM UP OR DOWN.
2. TRAVELLING ALONG THE YARD.
3. OPERATING BOOM CONVEYOR
4. SLEWING THE BOOM TO STACK AT REQUIRED SIDE OF YARD.
5. ROTATION OF BUCKET WHEEL.
2.Control of luffing meets requirement of smooth starting and braking and means for
prevention from boom stall is taken to ensure safe luffing.
3.Gantry traveling is by AC motor and inverter, drive with step less speed regulation system.
4.Position detection and indication functions shall be provided for gantry traveling.
1. Rail Clamps
Rail clamps capable of holding the machine against 22.2m/s wind shall be provided on
both sides of the gantry, one set for each.
They are activated automatically when wind exceeds the speed specified for travel to
the anchoring position.
Emergency Switch
One emergency switch at one side of gantry leg;
One at one side of boom head;
One in each operator's cab and electrical house.
A) Belt slippage or broken belt is detected by a speed switch installed at a non- driven
pulley (i.e. tail pulley). The under speed switches are of the non-contacting pulse
counting type proximity switches. The speed sensing system consist of a rotating
target(s) mounted on the pulley shaft, sensing probe and remote mounted control unit
Electric Supply
Other Features
Lubrication System
Automatic lubrication is provided at appropriate locations on the reclaimer for traveling
mechanism, slewing mechanism, bucket wheel and boom conveyor, etc.
The system have a high pressure/low pressure alarm indicating such conditions as
plugged lines, broken lines, etc. These alarms shall be wired into the CPU. The system
also have an indicator, preferably mechanical, signifying which line is the problem line.
Critical lube points shall have lubrication feedback monitoring and adjustment of lube
supply rates at the point of lubrication. The flow is monitored by a micro-switch installed
at the end of each critical lube point. Example is the bucket wheel shaft bearings.
Flow rates to individual points are manually adjusted at the distribution metering blocks.
Lubrication cycle time is adjusted at the pump where it will vary the frequency of
lubrication to all points connected to that particular system. Individual grease quantities
at each point is set up during commissioning.
Distribution lines shall be stainless steel tubing and all metering blocks shall be mounted
in cabinets.
Tank size for lubrication shall be sized to minimize frequency of refilling .
Fire Safety
One CO2 fire extinguishers (5kg) are provided and installed in each
electrical room, it is located immediately inside the entrance doors.
One CO2 fire extinguishers (5kg) is provided and installed at the cable
reel platform. In addition, one CO2 fire extinguishers (2.5kg) are
installed in the operator’s cab. All extinguishers shall be of suitable
type for the likely type of fire with consideration given to prevention
of damage due to the extinguishers.
A fixed alarm and fire fighting detection system installed at the electric
Room.
