Applications of Bridge-type Scraper Reclaimers in Cement, Mining, and Power Industries

16 Jun.2025

In modern bulk material handling, efficiency, automation, and reliability are essential. One of the most effective solutions for reclaiming bulk materials from stockpiles is the bridge-type scraper reclaimer. This equipment plays a vital role in streamlining operations in the cement, mining, and power industries, where material volume is large and consistency is critical.

In this blog, we explore the structure, working principle, and diverse applications of bridge-type scraper reclaimers, while also highlighting Dadi, a leading enterprise specializing in bulk material conveying equipment and high-end metallurgical solutions.

What Is a Bridge-type Scraper Reclaimer?

A bridge-type scraper reclaimer is a fully automated material handling machine designed to reclaim bulk materials stored in longitudinal stockpiles. It spans the entire width of the stockpile like a bridge and uses a traversing scraper mechanism to continuously reclaim material and feed it onto a conveyor belt for further processing or transport.

Key Components Include:

Steel bridge structure

Travelling trolley

Scraper arm with chain and flights

Longitudinal conveyor system

Automatic control system

This type of reclaimer is widely valued for its uniform reclaiming performance, low operational cost, and high degree of automation.

Applications in Major Industries

1. Cement Industry

In cement production, precise blending of raw materials like limestone, clay, and iron ore is crucial for consistent clinker quality. Bridge-type scraper reclaimers are used to:

Reclaim pre-homogenized materials from longitudinal stockpiles

Maintain stable feed to raw mills

Ensure continuous operation even under harsh environmental conditions

Dadi offers customized solutions tailored for cement plants, ensuring efficient material recovery with minimal dust and energy consumption.

2. Mining Industry

In the mining sector, operations require fast and reliable handling of high-volume materials such as:

Iron ore

Coal

Bauxite

Copper concentrate

Bridge-type reclaimers are deployed in:

Blending yards for ore homogenization

Coal handling plants for thermal and metallurgical coal

Port terminals to load/unload and redistribute bulk stockpiles

With robust structural design and wear-resistant components, Dadi’s scraper reclaimers deliver long service life and adaptability to corrosive or abrasive environments.

3. Power Industry

Thermal power plants rely heavily on coal storage yards. To support uninterrupted power generation, bridge-type scraper reclaimers:

Automate coal retrieval from longitudinal coal stockpiles

Improve feed consistency to boilers

Reduce labor intensity and operational hazards

By incorporating advanced PLC control systems and condition monitoring features, Dadi ensures safe, efficient, and intelligent operation of reclaimer systems in power generation facilities.
