MCI Drum & Bridge Type Reclaimer Solutions: Innovation, Sustainability & Performance

Drum Reclaimers – Advanced Blending for Consistency

Our Drum Reclaimers (also known as barrel reclaimers) are optimized for high-capacity bulk material homogenization, making them an ideal solution for coal, iron ore, and other industrial applications where material consistency and blending are critical.

Key Features & Benefits

• Superior Blending & Homogenization: The spiral blade drum design enables consistent mixing of materials from various layers within the stockpile, ensuring uniform quality for downstream processing.
• High Reclaiming Capacity:
  • Nominal reclaim capacity: Up to 6,500 t/h.
  • Stockpile width: 30 m to 44 m.
  • Stockpile height: Up to 23 m.
  • Rail gauge: 30 m to 58 m.
• Optimized for Continuous Flow: The design allows for simultaneous reclaiming of thin layers across the entire cross-section, maintaining a steady material discharge rate.
• Advanced Bucket Arrangement: Multiple buckets arranged in parallel rows, swiveling automatically in the selected working direction, enable efficient material collection.
• Integrated Rake System: Equipped with rakes featuring prongs or scraper rods, ensuring continuous material flow by breaking compacted layers.
• Low Maintenance & Durability: Constructed from hardened, wear-resistant materials, ensuring a long lifespan even under harsh operational conditions.
• Bi-Directional Reclaiming Capabilities: Two rakes allow for material retrieval from either side of the drum, improving flexibility and efficiency.
• Automated & Sensor-Driven Operation: Fully integrated automation technology enables real-time monitoring and centralized control from a stockyard management system.

Bridge-Type Bucket Wheel Reclaimers – High-Efficiency Bulk Material Recovery

MCI’s Bridge-Type Bucket Wheel Reclaimers are engineered to maximize throughput while maintaining exceptional blending performance. Available in single or double bucket-wheel configurations, these reclaimers are ideal for stockyards handling coal, iron ore, aggregates, fertilizers, and other bulk materials.

Single Bridge-Type Bucket Wheel Reclaimer

A single bucket-wheel bridge reclaimer is optimal for stockpile operations requiring unidirectional material reclaiming.

Technical Specifications:

• Unidirectional operation for simple, linear stockyard layouts
• High blending efficiency through precise bucket-wheel operation

Double Bridge-Type Bucket Wheel Reclaimer

For larger stockyards requiring bi-directional reclaiming, the double bridge-type bucket wheel reclaimer offers enhanced performance and material recovery.

Technical Specifications:

• Increased material recovery rates through twin bucket-wheel operation
• Independent or linked drive systems for maximum flexibility
• Automated operation with precise control over blending ratios and flow rates
• Higher throughput and better homogenization due to continuous face reclamation
