carried out by a belt conveyor with tripper car.
The Chevron and Cone Shell stacking methods require
a travelling and luffing stacker (fig. 3), while the Strata
stacking method needs a luffing and slewing stacker.
The Strata stacking method is a SCHADE development
to allow homogenization of coal of various types and
origins. With the Strata stacking method, the stockpile
is built up in inclined layers. The stacker builds the first
layer travelling along the storage area with its boom at
a low elevation. The stacker then moves towards the
stockyard centre in pre-set steps while gradually lifting
the boom. The result are superimposed inclined layers,
matching the angle of repose of the bulk material and
providing a good blending degree as the scraper

PORTAL SCRAPER
RECLAIMER
Larger stockyards with a span exceeding 30 m
are operated with a portal scraper reclaimer. As
early as 1978, SCHADE engineers designed and
built a portal scraper reclaimer for an open cast
coal mine in South Africa with a span of 50.5 m
to reclaim 2,125 t/h coal, which at that time was
the largest portal reclaimer ever built anywhere
in the world. This outstanding performance was
soon followed by a portal scraper reclaimer to
reclaim 1,000 t/h limestone in a USA cement
plant and a further portal scraper reclaimer with
a span of 50 m for a cement plant in Canada.
Developments during the following years
resulted in ever larger machines, such as two
portal scraper reclaimers installed at a coal
mine in Australia to reclaim 3,100 t/h coal with
a span of 52 m and a portal scraper reclaimer
of innovative design commissioned in 2000 in
a power plant in Germany.
This special-design reclaimer allows 2,400 t/h
lignite to be reclaimed with just one scraper
boom: a world record. Today, SCHADE
engineers are building portal scraper reclaimers
for stockyards of 63 m with a reclaim capacity
of 4,000 t/h and machines with a span of more
than 70 m are soon to come.
As a standard, SCHADE portal scraper
reclaimers for large span stockpiles, whether
for indoor or outdoor operation, are fitted with
a boom guide to withstand horizontal forces
and avoid unstable movements of the free end
of the scraper boom. The boom guide was first
introduced and patented by SCHADE. The
portal structure, as a further standard, is
designed and built as a torsion-free welded
frame.
For operation in A-frame buildings, scraping
is performed by means of two scraper booms
forming one unit. The hinged link of particular
design connecting both booms in the centre
ensures that the discharging end of the
additional boom is always in a higher position
than the top of the main scraper boom. This
typical SCHADE design guarantees perfect
discharge conditions while eliminating the
risk of boom collision.

MULTIPLE PURPOSE
PORTAL BRIDGE
RECLAIMER
An outstandingly versatile design, developed by
SCHADE, is the portal bridge reclaimer which,
contrary to the conventional bridge-type reclaimer,
has the distinctive advantage of reclaiming and
blending several stockpiles of various bulk materials
arranged in line. This multiple purpose blending bed
system is served by just one single reclaimer, a major
Portal Bridge Reclaimer, 50 m span, 600 t/h, coal
asset when discussing investment costs and simple
operating conditions. The multi-purpose portal bridge
reclaimer combines the benefits of the bridge-type
and the portal scraper reclaimer.
Travelling on two rails (1) alongside the stock, just
as the conventional bridge reclaimer, this machine
features a portal structure (3) reaching high enough
to clear the pile and a horizontal scraper boom (4).
The horizontal scraper boom carries a roller-mounted
sledge (5) moving back and forth driven by a rope
winch (6). Being connected to the lower end of the
harrow (7), the sledge drags the same along the
horizontal scraper boom. The upper end of the harrow
is mounted on rollers fitted to the top of the triangular
jib (8). The same rollers guide the harrow cables and
control the cable tension through a counterweight (9) Portal Bridge Reclaimer, 50 m span, 1,225 m3/h
supported by both trolleys (2). The jib’s inclination for combined storage and blending of various
matches the bulk material’s natural angle of repose. coal qualities
The back and forth movement of the sledge drags the
harrow like a wiper across the pile slope. The material
trickling down is captured by the chain (10) of the
horizontal scraper boom to be transferred in a steady
flow to the reclaiming conveyor arranged alongside
the stockpile.
The high blending effect is achieved by the constant
movement of the harrow across the entire section of
the stockpile. To change from one pile to the other,
the scraper boom is lifted above the piles with its
sledge and scraper chain, hence allowing it to travel
along the stockpiles. A further asset is the ability to
lift the scraper boom into an inclined position, thus
allowing it to attack the pile side like a normal portal Portal Bridge Reclaimer components
reclaimer with inclined scraper boom. This additional
feature of the portal bridge reclaimer has the benefit
of ensuring not only homogenization but also making
sure it can reclaim frozen stockpiles, pile areas
representing a fire hazard or reclaim from
compartments.

several bulk material stockpiles with only one portal
bridge scraper reclaimer as alternative for the bridge-
type scraper reclaimer which is operating between two
piles only.

SEMI-PORTAL SCRAPER
RECLAIMER
For indoor operation, the best ratio between the
building section and the stockpile section is, in
most cases, achieved with a semi-portal scraper
reclaimer. The height of the retaining wall inside
the building is defined to provide full use of the
available storage area. Semi-portal scraper
reclaimers are the ideal solution for stockyards

All SCHADE portal scraper reclaimers are
equipped with scraper chains manufactured to
SCHADE standards, going beyond the technical
characteristics of present chain standards. The
SCHADE chain with a proven track record of
wear resistance achieves outstanding operating
hours. Keeping in mind low maintenance and
operating costs, the scraper chain is fitted with
automatic chain tensioning ensuring equal
take-up of both chain strands.

CANTILEVER SCRAPER
RECLAIMER
The cantilever scraper reclaimer travels on a
track arranged along one side of the stockpile
and features a boom with double-strand chain
and scraper blades. If used in combination
with the Strata stacking method, a SCHADE
invention, a certain degree of homogenisation
of the stored material can be obtained. Even
nowadays, the cantilever scraper reclaimer
Cantilever Scraper Reclaimer, boom length 18 m, remains the most economical solution for

CIRCULAR STOCKYARDS
An achievement born out of the need for systems
requiring less space for large storage quantities is
the circular stacker / reclaimer, a prominent SCHADE
domain. Depending on the application and the desired
results, the circular stacker / reclaimer is either built
with a cantilever reclaimer, a portal or a bridge-type
reclaimer. While the cantilever scraper reclaimer is used
for buffer storage, the circular stacker with bridge-type
reclaimer is meant for storage and homogenization.

CIRCULAR STORAGE
WITH STACKER AND
CANTILEVER RECLAIMER
Feeding of the stockyard is generally made with a
slewing stacker receiving the material from a fixed belt
conveyor. The slewing stacker deposits the material in
the Cone Shell method. Whenever a pile has reached
the preset height, the stacker advances one step,
turning around its centre. The stockpile is built up in
a simple automatic manner. Reclaiming is made from
the inner slope with the cantilever scraper reclaimer
mainly comprising the scraper boom supporting the
double-strand scraper chain and the wear-proof
shovels. The scraper boom advances in a circular

stacking 1,000 t/h, reclaiming 100 t/h, slag Whenever it has described the preset slewing range,
the boom is lowered by a preset step determining
the cutting depth. The reclaimed material is guided into
the central discharge chute leading to the reclaiming
conveyor.
The cantilever stacker / reclaimer allows for simultaneous
stacking and reclaiming and both functions operate
totally independently which guarantees a high degree
of flexibility. All stacking and reclaiming steps are PLC
controlled for fully automatic operation.
Stacker / reclaimer for open circular stockyards were
first installed by SCHADE in the late sixties for the
chemical industry, in the late seventies for limestone
storage in cement plants in India, followed in the early
eighties by woodchip storage in the USA.
With stringent environmental regulations and the
Circular Stacker / Cantilever Scraper Reclaimer, dia 61 m, increasing demand for protecting the stored material,
stacking 1,700 t/h, reclaiming 2,500 t/h, iron ore concentrate enclosed storages became more and more popular.
The first stacker / reclaimer in a covered circular stock-
yard was designed and built by SCHADE in 1988 for
stacking, storing and reclaiming 95,000 m3 coal in a
97 m diameter storage. The SCHADE giants include
10 circular stockyards operating in a harbour in Taiwan.
The storage buildings of these units commissioned
between 1997 and 2002 have a diameter of 120 m and
the equipment reaches a stacking capacity of 4,000 t/h
and a reclaim capacity of 2,000 t/h. Each unit allows
storage of 180,000 t. Depending on the application,
circular storages are also built with portal or semi-
portal scraper reclaimers.
