ZOOMRY
In the global bulk material handling system, from the transfer and storage of industrial raw materials to the circulation of civil materials, "scenario adaptability" directly determines the efficiency and cost of bulk material handling. As a key piece of equipment in bulk material conveying systems, mobile stacker conveyors, with the combination of movable chassis and adjustable stacking mechanisms, break free from the reliance of traditional fixed stacking equipment on civil engineering works. They can flexibly adjust operating modes according to the site conditions, material characteristics, and handling requirements of different industries. Their core value lies in: not only breaking the limitations of fixed storage areas and reducing secondary material transfer links, but also lowering material loss through scientific stacking methods, and controlling pollution with environmental protection designs—making them a core solution to address bulk material storage pain points across multiple industries.
Analysis of Core Applicable Scenarios for mobile stacker Conveyors
The characteristics of bulk materials, site conditions, and handling objectives vary significantly across industries. Mobile stacker conveyors need to achieve scenario adaptation through functional optimization:
Seaport Terminals
As core hubs for the import and export of global bulk materials (iron ore, coal, grain, etc.), seaports face three major challenges in bulk material handling: diverse ship types, limited terminal space, and tidal influences on loading heights. Traditional fixed loading equipment cannot flexibly adjust operating parameters and relies on large-scale civil engineering modifications to adapt to different ship types, resulting in limited efficiency.
ZOOMRY's mobile stacker conveyors are equipped with multi-dimensional adjustment capabilities: through radial rotation (with a maximum rotation angle of up to 110°, exceeding the adjustment limit of traditional belt conveyors), telescopic and luffing functions, they can flexibly adjust stacking heights according to ship specifications—from barges of 0-3 meters to large cargo ships of 16 meters—enabling efficient loading without modifying terminal infrastructure. Meanwhile, to address salt and dust pollution in seaport environments, the equipment adopts a combined design of head PU cleaning scrapers and sealed Conveyor Belts to prevent materials from external contamination; paired with a PLC automatic stacking system, it can effectively prevent the stratification of coarse and fine particles in materials such as iron ore, ensuring stable loading quality.
Mine Mining
In the bulk material handling scenarios of mines (coal mines, metal mines, etc.), materials such as ore and gangue need to be transferred from the mining face to temporary storage yards or mineral processing plants. These scenarios face issues such as rugged terrain (with slopes exceeding 18° in some areas), scattered operation areas, and high daily handling volume demands. Traditional fixed stacking equipment relies on fixed infrastructure and cannot move dynamically with the mining face, leading to high material transfer costs.
For mining scenarios, ZOOMRY has launched mobile stacker conveyors (such as the ZR160SF crawler-type model) that achieve adaptation through chassis optimization and core component enhancement: the crawler chassis design reduces ground pressure, enabling stable travel on soft ground and steep slope areas; the hydraulic system is equipped with low-temperature heating functions, allowing normal operation even in alpine mining environments at -30℃. In terms of durability, the equipment uses 40Cr forged shafts, internationally renowned brand gear motors, and is paired with ZOOMRY's independently developed high-wear-resistant idlers (with a service life exceeding 50,000 hours, 20% higher than the industry average). This enables it to meet the demand for continuous handling of large-tonnage ore. Additionally, the unmanned transfer design between "mining face and storage yard" not only reduces labor input but also eliminates fixed infrastructure costs, significantly improving the economic efficiency of bulk material handling in mines.
Aggregate Processing
Aggregates (sand, gravel, cement clinker, etc.) are core raw materials in the construction and infrastructure industries, and their gradation uniformity directly affects the quality of end products such as concrete. Traditional stacking methods (such as direct dumping by trucks) easily cause material segregation—coarse particles sink and fine particles float—while also posing a high risk of impurity mixing and limited storage capacity, restricting the capacity release of aggregate plants.
Mobile stacker conveyors adapted to aggregate scenarios take "anti-segregation and high flexibility" as core design goals: ZOOMRY precisely controls the rotation speed and telescopic length of the stacking arm through a PLC system to achieve "layered stacking," controlling the aggregate gradation deviation rate within 3%, far below the industry average. For fragile materials such as cement clinker, the breakage rate can be controlled below 1% by reducing the conveyor belt speed (adjusted to 2.0m/s). Furthermore, the equipment supports disassembly for transportation, meeting the demand for "alternating stacking across multiple production lines" in aggregate plants; for rainy areas or scenarios requiring moisture protection (such as prefabricated component production), Rain Cover devices can be customized to prevent aggregates from exceeding moisture content limits and affecting use, complying with international environmental protection standards.
Coal-Fired Power Plants
Coal-fired power plants need to store large quantities of coal for a long time and ensure the stable supply of coal from the coal yard to the boiler workshop. Traditional open-air coal stacking methods easily cause dust dispersion, while rainwater wetting reduces coal combustion efficiency; relying on truck transportation increases transportation costs and energy consumption, which is inconsistent with the "clean and energy-saving" operation requirements of power plants.
ZOOMRY's mobile stacker conveyors are adapted to power plant scenarios through a "sealed conveying + seamless connection" design: the combination of sealed conveyor belts and non-powered dust collection chutes can effectively reduce coal dust emission, complying with the environmental emission standards for thermal power plants; replacing traditional truck transportation significantly reduces costs and energy consumption in the transportation link, lowering the carbon footprint. In terms of operation control, the PLC system can adjust the stacking speed according to the real-time coal consumption of the boiler, avoiding material accumulation or supply shortages in the coal yard; meanwhile, it is equipped with safety components such as belt deviation switches and fire alarm devices, adapting to the safety requirements of high-risk operating environments in power plants and ensuring the stability and safety of coal storage and transfer.
Chemical Industry
Bulk materials involved in the chemical industry (such as soda ash, chemical fertilizers, PVC particles) mostly have corrosive or volatile properties. Two key issues need to be addressed during storage: first, preventing material leakage and environmental pollution, and second, avoiding equipment corrosion and shortened service life. Traditional stacking equipment struggles to adapt to such scenarios due to insufficient sealing performance and poor corrosion resistance of components.
ZOOMRY's mobile stacker conveyors for chemical scenarios adopt specialized corrosion-resistant designs: key components such as chutes and idler housings are made of 304 stainless steel, which can withstand acid and alkali corrosion; sealed conveyor belts use oil-resistant rubber materials to prevent damage from chemical solvents. In terms of safety compliance, the equipment has passed CE certification (complying with the EU REACH Regulation), with reserved gas detection interfaces for real-time monitoring of the concentration of volatile materials; the emergency stop system has a fast response speed, enabling rapid shutdown when leakage risks occur to prevent pollution spread and ensure the safety and compliance of bulk material storage in the chemical industry.
Grain Storage
The core requirements for grain (wheat, corn, soybeans, etc.) storage are "low breakage and mildew prevention"—traditional fixed stacking equipment has hard belts, which easily cause grain breakage; the lack of moisture-proof design increases the risk of grain mildew, resulting in material loss.
Mobile stacker conveyors adapted to grain scenarios have core advantages of "flexible conveying + customized moisture protection": they use flexible rubber conveyor belts to control the grain breakage rate within 0.5%, maximizing grain quality protection; for humid areas or long-term storage needs, closed grain covers and dehumidification devices can be customized to stabilize grain moisture content below 13% and prevent mildew. In terms of flexibility, the wheeled chassis design allows the equipment to move flexibly in narrow passages of grain depots, with a stacking height of up to 8 meters, effectively increasing the storage capacity of grain depots; paired with an automatic counting system, it can accurately record the stacking volume, providing data support for grain depot inventory management.
Core Adaptation Advantages of Mobile Stacker Conveyors
In addition to scenario-specific designs, the widespread application of mobile stacker conveyors across multiple industries is also due to their universal core advantages, which further enhance the equipment's scenario adaptability:
First is terrain and environmental adaptability: The equipment can choose wheeled or crawler chassis according to site conditions—crawler models are suitable for soft and rugged terrain, while wheeled models facilitate rapid transfer on flat sites; paired with a hydraulic jack support system, it can maintain horizontal operation even on sloped sites, preventing equipment overturning and adapting to site differences across industries.
Second is balance of efficiency and environmental protection: Through structural optimization, ZOOMRY's ZR-SF series radial telescopic stacker conveyors increase the storage space utilization rate by nearly 30% compared to traditional fixed conveying equipment; the PLC fully automatic control system supports "wind-driven stacking," with a maximum daily handling capacity meeting the demand for 10,000-ton-level bulk materials, reducing manual operation errors. Meanwhile, the sealed conveyor belt and low-noise design (operating noise ≤45dB, better than national standards) can effectively control dust and noise pollution, complying with global environmental protection trends.
Third is convenience of global deployment: The equipment can be disassembled and transported in standard containers, reducing cross-regional transportation costs; the on-site assembly cycle is short, with installation and commissioning completed in only 10-20 days. ZOOMRY provides on-site guidance services by engineers, enabling rapid equipment commissioning even in remote areas and meeting the deployment needs of customers in different regions worldwide.
Scenario-Specific Selection Recommendations for Mobile Stacker Conveyors
To achieve precise adaptation between mobile stacker conveyors and scenarios, selection evaluation must be conducted from three dimensions—this is also the key to ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment and maximizing its value:
-
Prioritize clarifying core scenario requirements: The selection direction must be determined based on material characteristics (such as density, corrosiveness, fragility), daily handling volume, and site conditions (terrain, power supply, environmental protection requirements). For example, crawler chassis and high-wear-resistant component models should be prioritized for mining scenarios; corrosion-resistant designs should be the focus for chemical scenarios; diesel-powered models can be selected for remote areas without stable power supply.
-
Focus on verifying key equipment parameters: Storage capacity, rotation angle, service life of core components, and international certifications are core indicators for selection. For example, models with large rotation angles and high stacking heights should be selected for port scenarios; breakage rate parameters should be emphasized for grain scenarios; for export projects, it is necessary to confirm whether the equipment has certification qualifications for target markets such as CE, EAC, and KCS.
-
Value full-life-cycle service capabilities: As large-scale industrial equipment, subsequent maintenance and services for mobile stacker conveyors are crucial. Attention should be paid to the equipment warranty period (ZOOMRY provides a 5-year warranty for core components), installation and commissioning support, and spare parts supply efficiency (ZOOMRY has global spare parts inventory to quickly respond to needs). Especially for overseas projects, brands with localized service capabilities should be selected to avoid equipment operation disruptions due to delayed services.
