The scraper machine builds a high pile and also reclaims the coke up a ramp on the head tower, for discharge directly into hopper bottom rail cars. The rail cars are parked on two sets of tracks, spanned by the mobile head tower. A single operator at a control console in the head tower handles the entire stockpiling and reclaiming operation.

To create a custom required specification, a stockpile needs to mix a number of raw materials with different chemical properties in time and in order. This process is called blending. In practice, the blending operation is achieved through two intricately connected operations: grade targeting and stockpiling.
