Gigantic, Dynamic, Economic - The New SBM RECLAIMER

With the new development of a highly efficient reclaimer - a bridge bucket wheel reclaimer - SBM Mineral Processing GmbH broadens its product portfolio especially for processed bulk materials. This SBM novelty is used where economic handling and homogenisation or temporary storage of large quantities of bulk material are important, an innovation especially made for the raw material industry.

That is another addition to the SBM product family which completely fulfils the Upper Austrian manufacturer's high demands on quality and is setting new standards in this industry sector again. The new SBM RECLAIMER - a giant in reclaiming technology - excels due to a total width of approximately 65 m, exceptionally high loading capacity and maximum availability. Smooth operation under extreme conditions such as snow, ice or heat in a temperature range of -30°C to +40°C and a reclaiming capacity of 1,100t/h make this reclaimer a convincing plant even if you look at its basic features alone.

Multitasking
The reclaimer has an outstanding storage capacity of 84,000 m³ per stockpile and can simultaneously work on two stockpiles in a dynamic process. The first stockpile is piled up layer by layer with processed material (grain size 0-8 mm) by a reversible distributing conveyor. The second stockpile is worked on by the reclaimer with a bucket wheel (9 m diameter) which removes the raw material semi- respectively fully-automatically and transfers it to the loading of wagons by conveyors.

Major Order VA Erzberg
In May 2014, the fully automated fine ore deposit of the company VA Erzberg GmbH (Austria) was officially opened where the successfully tested SBM reclaimer makes an important contribution. "In comparison to the former storage method - unloading the fine ore by lorry and further transportation by wheel loader - this plant offers significant advantages to our client such as e.g. considerable improvement of the fine ore quality due to an increased homogenisation of the material, cost optimisation due to the economisation of a lorry and a wheel loader, as well as the substantial reduction of emissions by almost 1,000 tons of CO2 per year," Dipl. Ing. Erwin Schneller and Dipl. Ing. Johannes Weiermair, the two Managing Directors, enthuse about the new development.

Power Package Made in Austria
By expanding the product portfolio in the direction of economically handling bulk materials the traditional company SBM Mineral Processing from Oberweis/Gmunden wants to attract additional customer segments in the raw material industry. The quality provider - who also manufactures in Austria - with the brands MFL and SBM and decades of know-how is a well-established full-range supplier for the business fields mineral processing and concrete technology. The company provides mobile and stationary systems for the raw materials and recycling industries, conveying plants as well as concrete mixing plants for ready-mixed and prefab concrete and convinces due to numerous reference projects all over the world. SBM, a reliable partner of many industrial global players, belongs to the powerful MFL Group whose networks and capacities are optimally used to the benefit of all customers.
