BONFIGLIOLI
PARTNERS
WITH KILIC ENGINEERING ON LARGE GRAIN PROJECT
Bonfiglioli recently partnered with Adelaide-based engineering firm, Kilic Engineering
on a large grain transportation project. Kilic Engineering is a diverse mechanical
engineering company owned and operated by the Kilic family since 1973.
The company has a long and
proud history of excellence in
designing, manufacturing and
installing a very wide range of
conveyors, material handling
systems, chute work and
associated structural elements.
With an established reputation built over years of
operation in the industry, Kilic Engineering looked
to a trusted supplier for this mammoth project.
Danie de Vries, state manager for VIC, SA and TAS
from Bonfiglioli says that the initial challenge was
local support.
“While Bonfiglioli is well established in both
Australia and New Zealand – 31 years and
counting, Kilic Engineering required ongoing local
support and on-hand expertise for this project in

South Australia. Thanks to our distributor network,
we were able to make this happen through our
partner, Motion Control in Adelaide”.
THE PROJECT
Craig Dennis, general manager for Kilic
Engineering says that this application ultimately
formed part of a large system for T-Ports. “T-Ports
specialises in innovative solutions for the export
of commodities, partnering with customers and
investors to use a flexible model that positions
port infrastructure close to the product’s origin.”
The application required large amounts of grain
products to be handled on a consistent basis.
Here, grain is dropped into dual hoppers by trucks.
The grain is then moved into silos and finally into
a large haul shipping vessel via a boom conveyor.

“This boom conveyor is a long conveyor which
goes from the land over to the shipping harbor
and then into the ship,” explains Craig.
Some 1000 tonnes of grain was needed to be
transported per hour to a 24000-ton silo storage.
Once ready for loading, the ship is loaded at a
capacity of 13800 tonnes per day.
“The locally fabricated Ahrens steel silos can
be filled directly by trucks direct from growers
or from the nearby bunker site via an internal
haul road between the two Lucky Bay sites.
The system design made in collaboration with
our customer, Ahrens, includes belts, gantries,
services, framework, conveyors, piling and
concreted works and is based on ‘off the shelf’
solutions,” says Craig.
