Stacker-reclaimer apparatus
A stacker-reclaimer apparatus for handling bulk material at a storage site comprising a central tower having a vertical axis; an infeed conveyer; a stacker boom rotatably mounted to the central tower about the vertical axis, the stacker boom receiving the bulk material from the infeed conveyer; a reclaimer boom rotatably mounted to the central tower about the vertical axis; first and second conveyer screws mounted on the reclaimer boom, the first and second conveyer screws extending along first and second longitudinal sides of the reclaimer boom, respectively; a first harrow extending upwardly and angularly away from the first longitudinal side of the reclaimer boom; a second harrow extending upwardly and angularly away from the second longitudinal side of the reclaimer boom; a reclaim hopper, the reclaim hopper receiving bulk material from the reclaimer boom; and an outfeed conveyer, the outfeed conveyer receiving bulk material from the reclaim hopper.

Improvements relating to the stacking and reclaiming of bulk materials
The present disclosure relates to equipment for handling bulk materials. In a particular form, the present disclosure relates to equipment for use in stockpiling grains in a bulk storage system of the type commonly referred to as a bunker, although its application is not so limited. In one aspect, there is provided a mobile stacker and reclaimer combination comprising a mobile stacker, and a mobile reclaimer which is movable independently to the mobile stacker, wherein in use, the mobile reclaimer simultaneously collects a bulk material and feeds this to the mobile stacker.

Stockpile modification systems, methods and apparatus
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for modifying a stockpile.
Piler Conveyor System
A piler conveyor system for screening debris such as tare dirt from materials such as beets as the materials are conveyed across a piler. The piler conveyor system generally includes a frame supporting an upper conveyor and a pair of lower conveyors. The upper conveyor is adapted to receive materials such as beets. As the materials are conveyed by the upper conveyor, debris such as tare dirt or the like will fall through screening openings in the upper conveyor and onto the lower conveyor. The lower conveyor may then dispense the debris through a debris opening. The materials will drop off the end of the upper conveyor and fall onto the second lower conveyor, which will convey the screened materials to be dispensed.

FILL UNDER GRAIN COVER
A fill under tarp for grain and center tower skirt are disclosed. A tarp body has a plurality of tarp sections and a tarp section seam disposed between each adjoining tarp section. A yoke has a center, an inner terminal edge defining a yoke opening and an outer terminal edge. The yoke is disposed generally in the center of the tarp body and configured for strengthening the tarp body. A center tower skirt has a plurality of skirt sections with opposing section edges disposed between opposing upper and lower terminal edges. The lower terminal edges define a center tower skirt opening coincident with the yoke opening configured to receive grain for storing underneath the fill under tarp. At least one of the section edges of each center tower skirt section includes a flared and/or flap portions to prevent grain leakage.
