Introduction

This section of the Ckit Handbook deals specifically with stacking and reclaiming systems and includes information for beginners, detailed design and component information.

To introduce this vast subject, we have drawn on a series of papers written for Beltcon 8 in 1995.

These papers address the basics of machine selection and application.

A series of calculators will be introduced allowing stockpile size and capacity to be selected.

It is imperative that designers, users and learners are kept informed of the latest developments in the field of machine selection, and the associated technical and economic benefits which these technologies hold for the end-user.

Contents

An overview of machine types, stockpile sizing and design considerations and parameters, component selection criteria, technical literature, calculators, standard design practices, trouble shooting guides, suppliers' data and tables will continually be added.
