Editing Reclaimer (section)

==Reclaimer types==
Bucket wheel reclaimers use "[[bucket wheel]]s" to remove material from the pile they are reclaiming. Scraper reclaimers use a series of scrapers on a chain to reclaim the material.

The reclaimer structure can be of a number of types, including portal and bridge. Reclaimers are named based on their type, for example, "Bridge reclaimer." Portal and bridge reclaimers can both use either bucket wheels or scrapers to reclaim the product.  Bridge type reclaimers blend the stacked product as it is reclaimed.

Whenever material is laid down during any reclaiming process, it creates a pile. Blending bed stacker reclaimers form such piles in a circular fashion. They do this by taking reclaimed material and passing it through a conveyor system that rotates around the center of the pile to create a circle. This allows the pile to be evenly spread out during the reclaiming process and allows for the oldest material in the pile to be reclaimed before the newer material. During this process, a [[Harrow (tool)|harrow]] tool is used to cut through the reclaimed material so that the material can be combined.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bruks-siwertell.com/storage-reclaiming/blending-bed-stacker-reclaimer|title=Blending bed stacker reclaimer {{!}} Bruks Siwertell|website=www.bruks-siwertell.com|access-date=2020-02-13}}</ref> Some Blending bed reclaimers are equipped with rakes to ensure that no material gets stuck in the machine. These rakes are made with various materials and sizes based on the climate in which the reclaimer operates. In below freezing temperatures, a harder material is used to create a rake with modified edges, which allow for any ice or debris to be broken up before piling.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.tenova.com/product/reclaimers/|title=Reclaimers - TENOVA|last=S.p.A|first=Tenova|website=www.tenova.com|language=en|access-date=2020-02-14}}</ref>

Cantilever chain reclaimers are designed to use longer booms. Cantilever chain reclaimers use a truss system that is connected to a liner and then to a chain, this chain is bolted onto the elevation chute and fixed to the reclaimer. The angle of this boom is then set by a cable-winch system and is supported using a cable system. With the cable, the boom can be lowered slightly during each reclaiming cycle. This chain system creates a push and pull effect that allows for any loose material to be collected and moved to the edge of the reclaimed pile. After the loose material is collected it is lifted and moved for further processing.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.bruks-siwertell.com/storage-reclaiming/cantilever-chain-reclaimer|title=Cantilever chain reclaimer {{!}} Bruks Siwertell|website=www.bruks-siwertell.com|access-date=2020-02-13}}</ref>
