Bonfiglioli wins Bulk Handling Award for Rio Tinto gear units
Gear units supplied to Rio Tinto have won Bonfiglioli Transmission Australia the Bulk Handling Award for 2014 in the category of Excellence in the Application of Gears, Motors or Drives.
The awards recognise leaders in the bulk handling industry and honour the companies with the safest, most efficient and most advanced technologies.
The Bonfiglioli A 05 2 and A 90 4 Helical Bevel Gear Units provide 1.1 and 7.5 kW of power respectively to traverse hoists, which allows Rio Tinto to lift up to four pieces of rail at once, greatly increasing their operational efficiency for their Rail Capacity Enhancement Project in Karratha, Western Australia.
“This was an interesting project for us, as the gears had to be designed to withstand extreme conditions such as high heat and cyclones,” said Bonfiglioli Australia Managing Director Malcolm Lewis.
