  • Bulk storage reclamation system and method
    Patent number: 5785483
    Abstract: The present invention is a bulk storage facility having a reclaim system for providing a continuous controlled feed of difficult to handle cohesive materials characterized by their tendency to pack together to form relatively self-sustaining walls which are substantially resistant to avalanching. The system comprises a reclaimer that passes over the top surface of a mound of material collecting an infinitely variable depth of material and conveying the material outwardly to a collection conveyor located at the periphery of the mound's base.
