This bucket wheel device for extracting coal is used in Banawala, India. The stacker reclaimer is located on a 700m long rail structure and must be reliably supplied with power on this route. However, since the cable drum for supply led to increased failures and the exposed sensitive high-voltage cable was damaged, the operator was looking for a more maintenance-friendly alternative. Today, they rely on an energy chain that, together with cables and monitoring sensors, has significantly increased reliability and safety during operation.
"Since we luckily came across energy chains as cable guides, the problems with the cable drum have become history. With the energy chain for long travels, the movement speed of the stacker reclaimer and thus productivity could be significantly increased."
