Decades of experience in developing specialised

were locally designed and manufactured at their
Sydney facilities.
Known for their high output torque, robust
reliability and long operating life, Bonfiglioli's HD
series is made up of high-quality materials and
boasts an optimised design. “The HD Series can
operate in the harshest environments, as well as
explosive atmospheres, with low maintenance
costs and long service intervals,” Danie says.
“Finally, drives can be customised thanks to an
extremely wide range of options and a large
accessories portfolio.
“We were able to deliver on time, on budget as
per the scope. We are extremely grateful to Kilic
Engineering for giving us the opportunity to prove
our products in this application,” he says.

The port itself underwent a harbour extension in
2014 and now incorporates two berth pockets
for simultaneously loading or discharging two
87-metre or longer self-propelled self-discharging
vessels.
Previously unseen in Australia for grain exports,
the use of a transhipment vessel means T-Ports
requires less than four metres of depth in the
harbour, eliminating the need for major jetty
structures and other port infrastructure.
T-Ports transhipment technology is capable of
operating in seas of up to 5m wave height and 30
knot winds.
Due to the port being located close to the
product, these facilities substantially reduce the
road haulage distances, hence reducing the cost
to government for road repairs and maintenance
and reducing carbon dioxide emissions
considerably.
Handling facilities at the port have been designed
to be competitive and efficient for the long-term.
They consist of a dual hopper which can facilitate
two-truck simultaneous discharge of 1000 tonnes
per hour.
BONFIGLIOLI GETS THE THUMBS UP
Danie says that Bonfiglioli’s trusted gear motors
were used to drive this large operation. “We used
a series of HD and HDO heavy duty gear units for
this application”.
Bonfiglioli supplied four conveyor drives and two
bucket elevator drives for the project. All of these
solutions, combined with our expertise in food & beverage,
and solid and liquid packaging processing applications,
makes Bonfiglioli your trusted partner.
