A horizontal plow system method and apparatus has been developed for the homogenous blending and reclaiming of bulk solid particulate matter, such as coal, at a utility plant. The horizontal plow system apparatus comprises one or more displacement assemblies, each further comprising a receiving stationary top plate and a horizontal flight subassembly. Coal is deposited via gravitational forces from an elongated slot bin storage onto the receiving stationary top plate and is then pushed on a bias and ultimately displaced by angular flights during travel of the horizontal flight subassembly along the receiving stationary top plate. Operation of the displacement assembly serves to displace the bulk solid from the sides of the receiving stationary top plate such that portions of coal from along the entire length of the elongated slot bin storage are continuously and simultaneously falling onto a moving transfer belt below, thereby insuring a more even blending of the coal. The transfer belt then moves the coal to the site of a downstream process. A sealing skirt structure provides support for the horizontal receiving stationary top plates as well as provides an enclosure to contain the coal and control dust. Adapted for rotational travel about the ends of the receiving stationary top plates, the angular flights depend rearwardly from opposite sides of forked members of the endless chain at an angle which permits the coal biased movement along the facing of the angular flights as well as sliding upon itself to be ultimately displaced from the sides of the receiving stationary top plate during longitudinal movement of the horizontal flight subassembly.
