industrial Scrapers for Efficient Bulk Material Handling – Types, Capacities, and Applications

Scrapers are essential equipment used for the efficient and continuous removal of bulk materials from stockpiles in industrial operations such as mining, ports, steel manufacturing, and power plants. They are engineered to handle various material types and optimize the transfer of stockpiled materials onto conveyor systems. Scrapers are generally classified into three main types based on their operating mechanisms:

• Bucket-type Scrapers
• Scraper Blade-type
• Drum-type Scrapers

These machines are capable of handling capacities ranging from 50 to over 2,400 tons per hour, depending on the operational requirements and material characteristics.
The selection of a scraper system is influenced by several factors, including:

• The size and geometry of the stockpile
• The physical properties of the material (e.g., granularity, moisture content)
• The desired reclaiming rate
• Blending and homogenization needs

Scrapers operate by removing material from one side of the stockpile and discharging it directly onto belt conveyors for further processing or transport. While these systems provide limited homogenization during material extraction, they are particularly effective for low to medium capacity applications where blending is not critical.
Our company specializes in the manufacturing of high-performance scraper systems and also provides key spare components, including:

• Scraper blades
• Heavy-duty chains
• Precision-engineered chain gears
• Walking wheel assemblies

These components are designed to ensure maximum durability and operational efficiency in demanding industrial environments.
