“The radial stacker is a conveyor that sits on
a wheeled truck”, explained Bruce Wagner,
project manager with Imperial. “The truck sits
on a railed track that forms a 150 foot radius
semi-circle around the stacker. We designed
it to handle a maximum load of 3000 tons of
coal per hour.”
The advantage of the radial stacker is that it
gives the operator the option to create many
multiple stacks of material or one continuous
radial stack. This can be useful for sorting
materials but it also gains the operator more
stacking capacity as opposed to one large pile
of material directly in front of the conveyor.
The stacker is a 200 foot long conveyor that
pivots at one end with the other end able to
be raised and lowered. Positioned on a
mounting plate sitting above the conveyor belt
near the pivoting end of the stacker is a Thern
4WS26M26 electric winch, which serves as
the means to raise and lower the grade of the
stacker at the opposite end.
