VARIOUS STOCKPILE LAYOUTS ARE POSSIBLE

The shape of the stockpile depends on the space available and the volume of the material to be stored. A rotary spreader is used to fill the stockpile, and material is taken from the pile using a scraper chain with buckets.

Based on the specific task (buffering, collecting and distributing, blending/homogenising) and the resulting incoming and outgoing material flow, first the storage capacity is decided upon. Together with the material properties this then leads to a choice of available stacking and reclaiming methods as well as the two basic stockpile layouts, namely the longitudinal stockpile arrangement and the circular stockpile arrangement.
