Bulk Handling Challenges
Bonfiglioli Gearmotor Solutions

The world of Bulk Handling keeps industries moving. From mining and construction to agriculture and food production, efficient material movement is crucial. However, bulk handling operations also face significant challenges that can impact productivity and safety.

 

 

High Starting Torque, Shock Loads, and Harsh Environments (Apron Feeders)

Apron feeders are workhorses in bulk handling, constantly battling high starting torque when material enters the feeder, shock loads from falling objects, and exposure to dust, dirt, and moisture. These factors can lead to premature equipment failure and costly downtime.

 

Bonfiglioli to the Rescue: The 300 Series:

For these demanding Apron Feeder applications, Bonfiglioli offers the exceptional 300M Series planetary gearbox. Here's why it's the perfect choice:

  • Highly Transmissible Torque/Weight Ratio: Handles the high starting torque required to get material moving efficiently, even in a compact design.
  • High Shock Resistance: Withstands the impact of falling material without compromising performance.
  • Built for Tough Environments: Operates reliably in dusty, dirty, and potentially wet environments often found in bulk handling operations.
  • Modular Design: The 300M Series can be customized to perfectly match your specific Apron Feeder requirements.
  • Wide Range of Options: Choose from various input and output configurations, electric motor options entirely manufactured by Bonfiglioli (including asynchronous motors like BN-BE-BX/M-ME-MX), and a built-in cooling fan for optimal thermal management.

Optimized Torque for Efficient Material Movement (Screw Conveyors):

Screw conveyors play a vital role in moving material through a long, enclosed tube. However, if the wrong torque is applied, material can become lodged or slide excessively within the screw, reducing efficiency and increasing wear.

High-Volume and Continuous Stress (Corn & Grain Processing)

Corn and grain processing facilities operate continuously under high volume and stress. Additionally, these environments often require ATEX compliance for explosion protection. Traditional gearboxes can struggle to meet these demands.

  • Extremely High Transmissible Torque: Handles the high starting torque required to get material moving efficiently.
  • High Shock Resistance: Withstands the impact of falling material without compromising performance.
  • Easy Maintenance: Simplifies maintenance procedures with features like special seals and protected enclosures.
  • Harsh Environment Ready: Built to endure dusty, dirty, and potentially wet environments often found in bulk handling operations.
