What is a Bridge Bucket Wheel Reclaimer?

Bridge blending bucket wheel reclaimer is a type of bucket wheel reclaimer, which is mainly used in secondary material yards and is suitable for reclaiming blended ore and other bulk materials with particle size of 0 ~ 30 mm. Bridge bucket wheel reclaimer can be used in homogenized raw material plants in steel plants, building materials plants, non-ferrous metals plants, chemicals, thermal power plants and other plants.

The bridge blending bucket wheel reclaimer operates at the end of the material pile, and the piled bulk materials are evenly reclaimed through the movement of the bucket wheel mechanism, rake and long travelling mechanism, and the reclaimed bulk materials is stable in composition.

How does Bridge Blending Bucket Wheel Reclaimer Work?

The bucket wheel mechanism of the bridge bucket wheel blending reclaimer is driven by motor, gearbox, and sprocket to rotate. The bucket on the bucket wheel cuts the bulk materials from the pile in turn and lifts them upward. When the bucket rises to about 150°, the bucket leaves the fixed arc baffle. Since the bucket is a flat structure, the materials in the bucket is discharged onto the belt conveyor through the chute due to its own weight and inertia, and then is sent to the belt conveyor in the stockyard. The bucket keeps rotating, and the material on the belt is also continuous. At the same time, the trolley supporting the bucket wheel also reciprocates left and right on the bridge frame, so that the material cut by the bucket is further mixed. When the trolley moves to any end point at both ends of the bridge frame, the PLC program controls the trolley to move forward a distance (the distance can be adjusted as needed) to make the bucket cut into the pile, the trolley moves in the opposite direction, and the trolley continues to move to the other end. The trolley moves forward one step, and the trolley returns, and this cycle continues to occur to continuously reclaim materials.

Our Solutions for Bridge Bucket Wheel Reclaimer

Overview

TechSolutions designed bridge bucket wheel reclaimer is used for reclaiming large volumes bulk materials from stockpiles where the efficient blending of material and homogenization is a primary requirement. Bridge bucket wheel reclaimer is typically used at mines, ports, steel plants with rail span up to 65 meters, and capacities of up to 12,500 tons per hour. Rakes are used to direct material flow to the base of stockpile, where then reclaimed by buckets and discharged onto a cross conveyor.

Types

According to the difference in the reclaiming mechanism quantity (bucket wheel mechanism), the bridge bucket wheel reclaimer designed by TechSolutions can be divided into two types:

• Single bucket wheel bridge reclaimer
• Double bucket wheel bridge reclaimer
