Coal-Gen 2010 Conference, August 10-12, 2010
August 10, 2010
PICOR will be attending the upcoming Coal-Gen 2010 conference, August 10 - 12, 2010, held in Pittsburgh, PA. USA. PICOR is an Exhibtor, as well as, a Gold Sponsor for this event. PICOR will be located at the main entrance in booth # 921 and would like to invite all to stop by to learn more about PICOR and their latest technology, The Walker Reclaimer (patent pending).
The Walker Reclaimer consists of one of more square conical surfaces each sloped down toward an opening in its center. Each conical surface consists of a steel plate supported by a support system and lined with a low friction surface. In the center of the conical surface is a reclaim opening fitted with a PICOR flow control gate. Attached to the underside of the concial surface are a number of vibrators. When the PICOR flow control gate is opened, material flows by gravity onto the reclaim conveyor. The flow rate through the opening is matched to the conveyor capacity by the PICOR flow control gate. When a flow channel is established in the stockpile, a number of vibrators around the reclaim opening are energized. Since the density of flowing bulk material is significantly less than that of static material, the vibration energy introduced into the static material around the flow channel causes the flow channel to widen. The material on the conical surface around the reclaim opening will migrate into the reclaim opening causing the flow channel to widen further. As material is reclaimed, the depth of the material on the concial surface decreases causing the flow channel to widen further. As the reclaim channel widens, more vibrators are energized toward the perimeter of the conical surface causing all the remaining material on the concial surface to migrate into the reclaim opening. The Walker Reclaimer combines the attributes of the stockpile over a reclaim tunnel and the vertical storage silo.
To learn more about The Walker Reclaimer and its other applications including ships and barges please stop by PICOR booth #921 and speak to any of the PICOR staff. Mr. Harold A. (Tony) Walker, CEO/President will be in attendance and would welcome converstations regarding his latest technology, The Walker Reclaimer, Train and Truck Precision Loading Systems or any bulk material handling solutions you maybe looking for.
PICOR is a turnkey contracting firm that specializes in diffcult design projects. Projects without ready-made solutions that require original design are the company's fotre.
To schedule an appt. with Mr. Walker or any of the PICOR staff during Coal-Gen 2010 conference, please send e-mail with time and date to donna.walker@picor.biz and a reply will be sent accordingly.
The team at PICOR is looking forward to attending one our industries leading conferences.

What People Are Saying
My experience to date with Tony Walker and his staff at Picor has been, and is, very positive. Picor was the only company of many who were solicited, to be able to come up with a design that fit our needs.
