Iron Ore Stacker for Stacking Crushed Iron Ore

An iron ore stacker is a stacking machine used in iron ore stockpiling. These iron ore stackers play a crucial role in the iron ore supply chain, allowing efficient handling and management of crushed iron ore in mining operations, ports, steel mills, and other industrial facilities.

Components of Iron Ore Stacker

There are many types of iron ore stackers, and our iron ore stacker is a mobile stacking conveyor. This machine consists of these components.

• Belt Conveyor
  Our iron ore stackers typically utilize an integrated conveyor system to transport crushed and screened iron ore. We use heavy steel conveyor rollers, conveyor idlers and conveyor pulleys to bear heavy loading applications.
• Slewing System
  The unloading point of our iron ore stacker can be rotated around the pivot point. This function will increase the stacking volume. You can use it to build radial stacking, linear stacking, and conical stacking.
• Lifting System
  Our iron ore stacker is integrated with hydraulic lifting system to change the discharging height of our machine. The maximum stockpiling height can reach 19.6m (64ft).
• Mobile System
  Our iron ore stacking conveyors can be fixed with a pivot or be movable with tracks combined with wheels. Our machines can offer stackers with high flexibility and mobility.
• Controlling System
  These portable iron ore stacker conveyor can be integrated with Remote and Panel Control systems to be operate by your workers. Your workers can move it and run it easily.

Common Types of Iron Ore Stacker

We can offer a various types of iron ore stackers and they can suit for different applications.

• Tracked Mobile Conveyor
  This crawler-type mobile stacker uses crawler tracks to move. It is usually used after iron ore mobile crushing and screening plants, this stacker can reduce downtime caused by moving mobile crushers.
• Tracked Radial Stacker
  This tracked radial stacker is similar to radial telescopic stacker, but it doesn’t have telescopic booms and the longest conveyor length is up to 31m. It is also often used after mobile crushing and screening plant.
• Radial Telescopic Stacker
  This radial telescopic stacking conveyor have a larger stockpiling volume than tracked mobile conveyor and tracked radial stacker conveyor. It may be one of the most costive and efficient ways of stockpiling iron ore in mining plant, quarrying plant, port, steel mill, etc.

Purpose of Iron Ore Stacking

Iron ore stacking refers to the process of arranging or piling iron ore into organized stockpiles for storage or transportation. This process is essential in the mining and materials handling industry, where iron ore is a primary raw material used in steel production and various other applications.

• Iron Storage
  Stacking iron ore creates organized stockpiles or storage areas where large quantities of ore can be stored efficiently. Properly stacked piles help maximize available space and facilitate easy access for loading, transportation, or processing.
• Inventory Management
  By stacking iron ore in designated areas, mining companies can manage their inventory levels effectively, ensuring a consistent supply of material for ongoing operations or shipments to customers.
• Quality Control
  Stacking iron ore allows for proper segregation and classification of ore grades and types, ensuring that each stockpile remains uniform and suitable for its intended use. This segregation is important for maintaining product quality and meeting customer specifications.

Key Considerations for Iron Ore Stacking

• Stacking Method
  There are various methods for stacking iron ore, including radial stacking (creating circular piles), linear stacking (creating straight rows or lines of piles), and conical stacking (forming conical-shaped piles). The choice of stacking method depends on factors such as available space, material handling equipment, and site layout.
• Stacking Equipment
  Equipment such as stackers, reclaimers, conveyors, and bulldozers are commonly used to facilitate iron ore stacking. Stackers are typically mobile machines equipped with a conveyor system and a boom or arm that can move horizontally and vertically to create organized piles.
• Surface Preparation
  Before stacking iron ore, it is essential to prepare the surface to ensure stability and prevent erosion or contamination. This may involve leveling the ground, compacting the soil, or installing barriers to contain the ore piles.
• Safety Measures
  Safety is paramount during iron ore stacking operations. Workers should be trained on proper stacking techniques and equipment operation to minimize the risk of accidents or injuries. Additionally, safety barriers, warning signs, and personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used as necessary to maintain a safe working environment.

Benefits of Effective Iron Ore Stacking

• Optimized Space Utilization
  Properly stacked iron ore piles help maximize available storage space, allowing mining companies to store larger quantities of material in a smaller footprint.
• Improved Efficiency
  Organized iron ore stockpiles streamline material handling operations, reducing the time and effort required to locate, access, and transport ore as needed.
• Reduced Material Loss
  Well-stacked iron ore piles help minimize material loss due to spillage, erosion, or contamination, preserving the quality and integrity of the ore.

Overall, iron ore stacking is a critical aspect of iron ore mining and processing operations, contributing to efficient storage, inventory management, and material handling. By implementing proper stacking practices and utilizing appropriate equipment, mining companies can effectively manage their iron ore resources and support the success of their operations.
