We have installed two 50-meter radial stackers at the Adosado de Zierbena wharf, in Santurce.
The basic function of all radial stackers is to place a stack of bulk material, in this case sand lime, stored at a uniform height and width. This is accomplished when the stacker moves in a slow turning motion (horizontally from side to side) making a curve as material flows.
This system consists of a chain feeder for receiving the product directly from the truck, with a band width of 2,200 mm, which unloads into the stacker through a conveyor belt to improve the transition of the material between the two. Each stacker is 50 meters long with an inspection and maintenance walkway on both sides.
In addition, it includes a misting system to minimize the environmental impact during operations.
Each stacker has a production of 600 tn/h with a density of 1.6 T/m3, being able to store up to 60,000 tons of material between them at a stacking height of 16 meters.
