In bucket wheel stacker reclaimer, the reclaiming process is used to reclaim the material with the help of bucket. So the amount reclaiming material is mainly dependent on capacity of the bucket. Moreover, the capacity (volume) of the bucket is concern to reclaim the material. In this paper, parametric model of bucket is made so we can change the bucket dimension to different capacity of bucket and use bucket to simulate the same. In the simulation, analyze the bucket body against the normal and tangential digging resistance acts on the blade during reclaiming process. The model made in Pro-E and simulated in Ansys 14 Workbench. The result is verified with yield strength of the material. Digging analysis is performed in static condition.
