Storage Technologies

The storage facilities for correctives such as iron ore, bauxite or sand, and for additives such as gypsum, limestone or pozzolana, are usually designed as longitudinal stockyards. Often, coals are also stored in these longitudinal stockyards.

The circular blending bed is used for storage and homogenisation of the main components such as limestone, limestone/marl/clay mixtures, clay or coal. Material can be stored and reclaimed simultaneously.

The longitudinal blending bed is used for storage and homogenisation of the main components such as limestone, limestone/marl/clay mixtures, clay or coal. It consists of two stockpiles, with the material being stored according to the CHEVRON stacking method in one stockpile with the aid of a belt stacker, and the material from the other stockpile being reclaimed by means of a bridge-type scraper reclaimer that reclaims from the face of the stockpile.
