ABSTRACT:
During the building of a mix bed of variable bulk materials, from which slices of the bulk materials are reclaimed from time to time, a computer processes composition analyses and quantity measurements to provide a real time data base of the current aggregate composition of the bulk materials in respective sectors of the mix bed and further processes current composition analyses and current quantity measurements with the real time data base to predict an aggregate composition of the bulk materials in the respective sectors of the mix bed when the respective sectors are reclaimed. When the aggregate-composition predictions indicate that stacking of a given delivered bulk material onto a given location of the mix bed would cause a given sector of the mix bed to be of an undesired aggregate composition when the given sector of the mix bed is reclaimed, the computer causes stacking of the given delivered bulk material onto the given location of the mix bed to be omitted and further causes at least one corrective bulk material to be stacked onto the given location of the mix bed subsequent to said omission in order to cause the given sector of the mix bed to be of a desired aggregate composition when the given sector of the mix bed is reclaimed.
