Abstract: A backstacking apparatus for stacking and reclaiming bulk particulate material comprising a particulate handling and movable positioning structure. The particulate handling structure includes a boom comprising a first and second boom member having a rake and rake drive operatively mounted thereon. The movable positioning structure includes a base supported on a pair of substantially parallel rails by rollers disposed on opposite sides thereof to control the horizontal movement of the particulate handling structure relative to the supporting surface and boom hoist coupled between the base and the boom to control the vertical movement of the particulate handling structure relative to the supporting surface.

Abstract: A conveyor wash device for use with a conveyor transport system including a conveyor means for transporting particulate material to recover excess particulate material adhering to the return side of the conveyor means. The conveyor wash device comprises a fluid wash basin configured to retain fluid therein to remove the particulate material from the conveyor means, a plurality of conveyor wash rollers disposed to route the return side of the conveyor means through the fluid wash basin and a particulate recovery means configured to transport particulate material from the fluid wash basin to the feed side of the conveyor transport system.
