Ideal for sand, gravel and recycling operations, these high-capacity stacking conveyors are offered with a direct-loading “V” bin, which allows operators to feed the stackers with a wheel loader or similar equipment, with bucket loads of up to seven yards as standard. The McCloskey “V” bin is the first, according to the company, to offer operators a direct-feed alternative to feeding the stacker with other conveying equipment. While the bin can be installed on virtually any McCloskey stacker, the company expects that the option will become most popular on stackers sized in the 80-foot to 125-foot range. Depending on the material being stockpiled, these stackers typically handle from 350 to over 800 tons per hour of bulk material.
McCloskey stackers use a five-inch by 3-¼-inch truss frame on which to mount the heavy duty “V” bin. Some key features of these new direct-load systems include: a powerful drive and wrap system; Caterpillar 80- to 130-hp engines; high-rated gear boxes; and rubber impact idlers.
