A bulk material handling and reclaiming device of a nature that can be added to or substituted in known reclaiming installations. Bulk material such as coal delivered by a conveyor from a mine normally is delivered by a conveyor in large quantities during the period of mine operation to storage areas where it is stacked in mounds covering circular or rectangular storage areas. The new reclaimer has a cage on which a plurality of sets of buckets are moved in either direction by chains to which the buckets are pivoted, the chains endlessly surrounding the cage. The chains are driven to move in either direction in channel tracks. The cage is nonrotatably supported and bodily moved in straight or arcuate paths in either direction toward one or another end of stacked bulk material in storage areas. The buckets dump the bulk material, scooped up by the buckets in either direction of bucket movement or cage travel, at the top of the cage into a belt conveyor mounted and moving along the axis of the cage to one end thereof to discharge the reclaimned bulk material to further transport means to deliver the same to a place of use. |
