Rail Unloading and Stacking System

Project Description
This project included the Greenfield installation of a new rail unloading facility. The system was designed to unload 2" x 0 coal at a nominal rate of 4,000 STPH, and use bottom dump rail cars that are continuously in motion. The hopper bottoms are equipped with opposing feeders that will convey coal towards the center point of the two hoppers and charge a 84" Wide Reclaim Conveyor at a 90 degree angle operating at 575 feet per minute. This conveyor feeds a fixed mast, self propelled, 84" Wide x 150' Long Radial Stacker.
