GEAR SOLUTIONS HELP REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!
T
o ensure operational excellence in the recycling industry, Bonfiglioli designs and manufactures customised solutions for both light and heavy-duty tasks. These include waste material collection, downsizing and sorting. As an example, for light-duty applications such as Reverse Vending Machines (shredding or compactor) and standalone shredders, the company offers solutions that provide high reliability and extended operational lifetime. For RVMs, the company provides a comprehensive package solution comprising the EVOX CP coaxial gearbox (with its smooth surface and compatibility with industry standards); the internationally certified, reliable and energy efficient, MXN asynchronous low-voltage e-motor (available in the IE3 Premium efficiency class); and the versatile AxiaVert smart inverter. This features advanced integrated functional safety capabilities and can be integrated into IoT applications, the company explains. Another solution designed for RVMs includes the W Series universal worm gearbox paired with a compact asynchronous motor from the MXN Series, both CUS and CCC certified.
SOLUTIONS FOR SHREDDERS When it comes to standalone shredders, Bonfiglioli offers the 300 Series planetary gearbox. Compact and resistant to shock loads, this is combined with a BX Series asynchronous three phase motor, guaranteeing reduced operating costs, energy savings and control flexibility, and an ACU (Active Cube) inverter. Specifically developed for automation machines, this has functionalities such as: Cyclic Synchronous Positioning (CSP) mode, brake control and encoder evaluation. Moreover, the new single axis controlling servo, induction and synchronous reluctance motors, offer high dynamic response, high performance and application versatility. Active Cube is available with various communication protocols, guaranteeing the broadest connectivity with the most advanced control technology.
50 DESIGN SOLUTIONS JUNE 2024 Bonfiglioli has
developed a range of innovative solutions
that offer benefits to the recycling industry. Here we take a look at some of the
products available
HEAVY DUTY APPLICATIONS Solutions are also available from the company for heavy-duty applications such as shredding and sorting machines. The R3 Series features planetary gearboxes offering peak torque ranges from 80,000 to 129,000 Nm and gear ratios ranging from 92 to 115. Equipped with sensors that measure performance, consumption and real duty cycle of the machine, the Series delivers condition monitoring and predictive maintenance services through an IoT platform. This has a functional portal which makes it
simple to monitor and report on the operating status of components and act on warnings and alarms. It provides insights and advice on scheduling RUL-based maintenance, as well as monitoring usage, uptime and performance. Furthermore, it offers an alerting function, sending notifications on how and when to manage maintenance. For sorting machines, meanwhile, Bonfiglioli
has developed a solution which combines the helical in-line gearbox of the CP Series with a globally certified electric multi-voltage IE3 Efficiency MXN motor and a decentralised inverter of the DGM Series, equipped with a brake rectifier module option, automatic starting torque optimisation and sensorless vector control.
BIOGAS INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS Biogas is a booming sector where Bonfiglioli’s products and maintenance services can help. It offers, for example, gearmotors that can handle material mixing at variable power and speed ratios, threshing and transport of both solid and grain material. Their reliability and durability is already trusted by German machinery companies which use them in agitators. An example is a helical bevel gear unit from the HDO Series, tailored for biomixers and agitators, which is ATEX certified and engineered with exceptional shock load resistance. The HD Series, both in the parallel (HDP) and right angle (HDO) configuration, can operate in the harshest environment, as well as in explosive atmospheres, and guarantees low maintenance costs and long time service intervals.
WATER TREATMENT Bonfiglioli can also provide effective solutions for various applications in support of wastewater treatment plants. Here, precise control over drive speed, water flow and pressure are key elements that can result in energy-saving solutions for pumps, conveyors and filters commonly adopted in wastewater processes. The company’s helical parallel gearbox of the HDP Series is suitable for such applications. This customisable solution is IoT ready and implemented with the Condition Monitoring service. Bonfiglioli’s products and solutions are
meticulously designed to meet the rigorous demands of the applications executed by aerators, mixers and agitators. These are devices specifically engineered to introduce air or other gases into liquids, facilitating processes such as oxygenation or other chemical reactions. They feature capabilities to withstand high radial loads, ensure mechanical separation between the lubrication chamber and output, regulate speed effectively, and thrive in aggressive atmospheres.
