Screw Reclaimers, Drag Chain Reclaimers
ProcessBarron designs and fabricates bulk materials handling reclaimers used to recover materials like coal, wood, sludge, biomass, and bark chips from storage and route them into facility processes. Whether it’s traveling screw reclaimer or underpile drag chain reclaimer, ProcessBarron’s team works with you to provide the best fuel handling reclaimer that satisfies both your budgetary and power production goals.
ProcessBarron has been designing, manufacturing and installing reclaimers throughout North America for decades. Through these decades, our team has developed a solid understanding of the best bulk handling reclaimer combinations for industries from power to metals to pulp & paper. ProcessBarron engineers work to determine the best material handling reclaimers and integrating any necessary redundancy that will keep your fuel feed system running efficiently and effectively.
The ProcessBarron team can also work with you to determine the various choices, including determining the most cost effective options regarding reclaimer and feed system automation.
Underpile Drag Chain Reclaimers
Process Barron can design a custom reclaimer solution to fit specific storage space and feed capacity requirements. We can tailor conveyor dimensions and work with existing equipment to reduce project costs. Complete drag chain reclaimer assemblies can be configured with single, dual, triple, and even quadruple drag chains depending on application, and include large HP motor, roller drive train and gear reducer.
Circular Screw Reclaimers
Circular screw reclaimers are the steady workhorse of the fuel feed process. Situated beneath fuel piles, heavy duty circular screw reclaimers turn to gradually pull the stored fuel material into a chute and drop it on an underground belt conveyor system for further processing and handling. The heavy-duty construction of ProcessBarron’s circular screw reclaimers makes it well-suited for biomass-related fuels like wood, sludge, biomass, and bark chips.
ProcessBarron's circular screw reclaimer construction is engineered based on custom pile height and fuel material weight requirements, and are fabricated from abrasion resistant steel. A special abrasion resistant coating protects the barrel from material wear. Circular flights are specially designed to pull the pile down uniformly toward the center chute, and motion sensors monitor proper reclaimer operation. These assemblies include motor, bearing and drive.
ProcessBarron engineers circular screw reclaimers to pile and operational specifications and fabricated from abrasion resistant steel for long service life.


Traveling Screw Reclaimers
These lateral track based screw reclaimers feature a core screw with welded sprial flights protected by an abrasion resistant coating of ceramic, tungsten carbide, or chromium carbide.
The technology for the circular and traveling screw reclaimers is offered through a licensee agreement with Raumaster Oy from Rauma, Finland. Raumaster Oy has over 30 years experience with this technology and has hundreds of installations across the world, including the U.S.A. and Canada.
