What is the difference of bridge and portal scraper reclaimer?

What is the Difference between a Bridge Scraper Reclaimer and a Portal Scraper Reclaimer?

Bridge Scraper Reclaimer

Bridge scraper reclaimer is an efficient bulk material handling equipment to reclaim bulk materials mainly for blending and homogenization purposes.

Portal Scraper Reclaimer

Portal type scraper reclaimer is bulk material handling equipment to reclaim bulk materials from stockpiles.

Difference 1: Can the scraper reclaimer reclaim bulk materials from any section of the stockpile?

The bridge type scraper reclaimer can only reclaim bulk materials from the end of the stockpile, but it cannot cross the stockpile; but the portal type scraper reclaimer can reclaim multiple different stockpiles from any section of the stockpile or in any order.

Difference 2: Does the reclaimer have a blending function? How effective is the blending and homogenization of the scraper reclaimer?

The portal type scraper reclaimer is mainly used in situations where the requirements for the blending and homogenization effect of the bulk materials are not high; when the portal type scraper reclaimer cannot meet the blending and homogenization requirements of the bulk materials, a bridge type scraper reclaimer needs to be selected.

Since the bridge type scraper reclaimer is equipped with a bulk material harrow rake, after the cross-section of the bulk material stockpile is mixed by the bulk material rake, mixed materials with a high blending and homogenization effect can be obtained. The bridge type scraper reclaimer is suitable for “Chevron” stacking methods.

Difference 3: Which type of scraper reclaimer has higher reclaiming capacity?

Generally speaking, portal type scraper reclaimers have much higher reclaiming production capacity than bridge type scraper reclaimers.
