The 2025 London Design Awards, a premier global event in industrial design, has announced its winners. Among hundreds of international competitors, ZOOMRY stood out with its exceptional Bucket Wheel Stacker-Reclaimer design, securing the Silver Award in Heavy Machinery Product Design. This prestigious honor not only authoritatively recognizes ZOOMRY's product design capabilities but also marks a new milestone for Chinese high-end equipment manufacturers' innovative strength on the global stage.

Organized by the International Design Association (IDA), the London Design Awards uphold the core philosophy of "Driving Design Innovation, Empowering Industrial Future" and serve as a benchmark in global industrial design. The jury, comprising design masters, engineering experts, and industry leaders from over 30 countries, rigorously evaluated entries based on four dimensions: functionality, innovation, sustainability, and aesthetic value. ZOOMRY's achievement highlights how its "user-centric, technology-driven" design philosophy resonates deeply with global clients.

Industry Challenges Solved by Award-Winning Design

Traditional bucket wheel machines face three major challenges that the Bucket Wheel Stacker-Reclaimer from ZOOMRY has overcome:

• Efficiency Bottlenecks: Traditional single-machine capacity was limited to ≤5,000 tons/hour — ZOOMRY's design achieves >8,000 tons/hour.
• High Manual Dependency: Traditional operations required 3-5 operators — ZOOMRY's solution reduces this to just one.
• Weak Environmental Adaptability: Traditional designs were limited to fixed-track operation — ZOOMRY's omnidirectional chassis enables free movement on slopes ≤15°.

Three Breakthrough Innovations

1. Mega Bucket Wheel Modular Design

Featuring split-forged bucket teeth and ceramic wear-resistant liners, achieving >8,000 tons/hour capacity, doubling service life, and enabling rapid on-site replacement of worn components. The Bucket Wheel Stacker-Reclaimer sets a new standard for high-capacity bulk material handling.

2. Omnidirectional Chassis with Intelligent Posture Control

Patented hydraulic crawler chassis with 360° slewing platform eliminates track constraints, enabling free movement on slopes ≤15°. AI-powered LiDAR and stockpile modeling systems automate pathfinding and collision avoidance, reducing operators to just one.

3. Sustainable Industrial Aesthetics

Streamlined structure with matte coating blends functionality with visual appeal while reducing wind resistance energy consumption by 30%.
