DIFFERENT PARTS OF SHIP UNLOADER

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.
