Trapezoidal stockpile Vs Trapezoidal stockpile
Trapezoidal stockpile can be formed in the following two methods, 1. Without compensating the travel length of the machine. 2. By compensating the travel length of the machine. Each method has its own advantage and disadvantage. Before comparing the advantages and disadvantages, let us discuss how a trapezoidal stockpile is formed. Without compensating the travel length of the machine: The above figure shows a trapezoidal stockpile formed without compensating the travel length of the machine. By compensating the travel length of the machine: The above figure shows a trapezoidal stockpile formed by compensating the travel length of the machine. Travel length compensation: To understand travel length compensation, first let us discuss how a triangular stockpile is formed with the help of a stacking mode drawing. (Stacking mode drawing: Is the drawing which defines the slewing angle, luffing angle and the travel position of the stack
