Bonfiglioli Products Available Through RAZZ Middle East

Helical and Bevel-Helical Gearboxes

The 300 Series inline helical gearmotors deliver torques from 90 to 18,000 Nm in a compact, modular design. Available with IEC motor adapters, they serve conveyors, mixers, and general industrial machinery. The A/HDO Series shaft-mounted gearboxes provide simple belt conveyor and screw conveyor drives without additional couplings or bases. The HD Series bevel-helical gearboxes handle right-angle drives for agitators, hoists, and material handling systems.

Planetary Gearboxes

Bonfiglioli's 300 Series planetary gearboxes deliver extreme torque density for heavy-duty applications. The 30X Series compact planetary reducers serve slewing drives, wheel drives, and winch drives on mobile equipment. TQ Series precision planetary gearboxes serve high-accuracy positioning applications in CNC machines and robotics. Output torques range from 500 Nm to over 1,000,000 Nm for the largest units.

Variable Frequency Drives

Bonfiglioli's Active Cube series VFDs (0.25kW to 350kW) provide motor control for industrial applications. The Agile series compact drives handle pump, fan, and conveyor applications. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Bonfiglioli gearmotors, these drives create complete matched drive systems with optimized performance and simplified commissioning.

Electric Motors

Bonfiglioli manufactures BN/BE Series IEC electric motors in IE2, IE3, and IE4 efficiency classes from 0.09 to 200kW. These motors are designed for direct coupling with Bonfiglioli gearboxes, creating integrated gearmotors with matched performance characteristics and simplified ordering.

Bonfiglioli in Saudi Arabia

Bonfiglioli gearboxes and gearmotors are widely used across Saudi industrial applications. In mining operations at Ma'aden, Bonfiglioli planetary gearboxes drive conveyor systems, bucket wheel reclaimers, and apron feeders. In cement plants, their helical and bevel-helical gearboxes power kilns, mills, and material handling equipment. The food and beverage sector uses Bonfiglioli gearmotors for packaging lines and processing equipment.

Saudi water treatment facilities deploy Bonfiglioli drives on aerators, clarifier drives, and sludge handling equipment. The construction sector uses Bonfiglioli travel and slewing drives on cranes and construction machinery. As Vision 2030 expands the Kingdom's manufacturing base, demand for Bonfiglioli industrial drive solutions continues growing.
