I was reading about the different types of stacking bulk materials, like de Chevron methoda and the Cone Shell method.

Can anyone explain the difference and does anyone has pictures of the two different methods?

Are there more different stacking methods?

Best regards

Stacking Blending Reclaiming

If you search the eLibrary for "Stacking" you find some 41 articles of which several should be relevant to your inquiry.

If you have done your homework, i.e. after an in-depth literature survey, can you start asking specific questions in a Forum like this.

Your starting point must be reading important articles.

Most likely you find these books in your Library:

In these books you find all you need.

Hello Jeroen Staneke,

As suggested by Dr. Wohlbier, you can only know about these methods used during in stacking, by referring to literature. It is very difficult to describe / explain these on the forum.

However, briefly :

In chevron method, the stacker continuously travels to & fro while discharging the material on to the stockyard. So, the stockpile cross section will have small triangles at the center and overlapping sloping layers. The boom height is raised according to layer thickness at each end of the travel.

In cone-shell method, initially a cone is formed and then machine is travelled by small step to create an overlapping cone of the same height (the overlapping will be only on the side of travel).

The use of particular method depends upon the degree of required mixing (blending), type of reclaimer, material, capacity, etc.

Dear Mr. Rekhawar,

I suggested two books & you may have look on it.

Ok, in short I am giving some general idea about the various stacking method.

Normally CHEVRON stacking is used where the size of maretials is less than 10mm. But if the materials size is more ,then you have to go for WINDROW. Some times we go for combination of two.Both these have disadvantages compaired to CHEVRON.

1.The stacker needs longer boom & a slewing mech.,more expensive.

2.Automatic operation is more expensive.

Stacking method also depends on type of reclaiming operation to be done.Also depends on blending effy.

Regards.

The Bookshop is closed for the time being, but you may want to go to the eLibrary at http://www.bulk-online.com/ELIB/index.php and insert, for instance, STACKING into the search window. The "Best of..." books are also listed there.

Apparently various stacking method is used but depending on the approach here are some approach like Block Stacking, Stacking Frames, Single-Deep Pallet Rack, Double Deep Rack,Drive-In Rack,Pallet Flow Rack and Push Back Rack.

Hello,

The stockpile types get created as a consequence of stacking method. Commonly used types are chevron, windrow, cone-shell, strata, etc.

The stockpile type and formation is chosen on the basis of its purpose i.e. whether it is simply for stacking and reclaiming or blending (homogenisation).

If there is blending then this stockpile type has to be complementary to the reclaimer being chosen. The reclaimer type would be in consideration to how intense blending (mixing) is needed.

You can get more information about this subject by discussion with the manufacturer of the stockyard systems.
