Two Minute Tips
Bucket Wheel Drive Train
In the mining industry reclaimers are used at stockyards and ports, as materials handling equipment for loading trains and ships. These are critical equipment for maintaining throughput and a severe break down can easily run into millions of dollars of lost revenue and should be avoided. A failure in the bucket wheel bearings or drive units can put reclaimer out of service for many days.
