The Overpile Chain Reclaim, OCR Product Line provides an excellent method for Fully Automated Storage and Reclaim of many bulk materials. The OCR was developed by Rockwood as a cost effective method of handling smaller storage volumes. It is especially well suited for Bio Fuels used for Bio Fuel Energy Plants, Cellulosic Based Ethanol Plants and Pellet Production Plants.
The OCR combines in one machine Fully Automated Stacking and Fully Automated Reclaiming. Operation of the OCR is performed remotely. The OCR includes an operator and MCC station with PLC controls mounted on the stacker support structure. The Stacker and the Reclaimer can be controlled separately from different remote locations or DCS’s.
Total Live Storage is achieved with the OCR. 100% of the material stacked under the OCR is accessible by the automated reclaimer requiring no mobile equipment or labor.
Dust and particulate emissions are minimized through the stacker luffing design. This allows the stacker to lower the boom discharge chute to its lowest point before beginning stack out. The boom then automatically raises in small pre-set increments as the storage pile makes contact with the boom/ pile limit switches.
The OCR along with all peripheral equipment is installed above grade requiring minimal civil works.
