Metals & Steel

BONFANTI owns a proven experience in fabrication and development of specific solutions for handling and production logistics in metallurgical sector.

The BONFANTI aim is to accompany the Clients in planning of the most effective strategies in order to facilitate the handling in a way to optimise the process timing with a scope to increase productivity,  guaranteeing at the same time the quality and safety standards.

BONFANTI systems are designed using the FEM, EN and ISO standards in accordance with the MACHINERY DIRECTIVE for CE marking.

Their sizing, in addition to the standards, takes into account both the particularities of the service and the conditions present in the work areas where they will be used.

BONFANTI has been operating for some time under the ISO 9001 certified quality control regime for the following fields of activity: design, manufacturing, assembly, testing and after-sales assistance.

Paying maximum attention to the standardization of spare parts and proposing carefully chosen Spare Parts Kits, BONFANTI allows customers to contain procurement costs and minimize repair times (and production loss) which generate even higher costs than those dedicated to spare parts.

The advantages:

High safety standards

BONFANTI solutions guarantee a high level of safety through protocols and certified control devices for the automatic execution of the operating cycles.

Safety is guaranteed by spaces optimizatoin and by eliminating the use of manpower for the execution of operating cycles.

Reduction of machine downtime

Complete automatic handling.

High handling speeds.

Reduction of cycle times through handling tweens interpolation of movements and management of accelerations / decelerations.

Optimizing management of handling activities is essential to avoid wasting time, damage and unnecessary handling (i.e. saving on labor, space, handling times). Handling activities management optimization is essential to avoid  time losses, damages  and unnecessary handling (i.e. saving on labor, on space, on handling times).

Minimization and certification of cycle times

Fully automatic movements.

High handling speeds.

Reduction of cycle times through interpolation of movements and management of accelerations / decelerations.

Optimizing management of handling activities is essential to avoid wasting time, damage and unnecessary handling (i.e. saving on labor, space, handling times).

Guarantee of the quality on the final product

The product quality is the landmark on which the BONFANTI solutions are designed; everything is engineered with the scope to avoiding collision, damages and degradation caused by handling operations.

Optimization of the personnel assigned to handling operations

Reduction / elimination of personnel assigned to handling operations as all BONFANTI systems can be designed to operate without the presence of any operator (system in Automatic mode) or by activating assisted positioning logics for controlled use by a single operator (with system in Semi-Automatic or Manual mode).

Complete production tracking

Complete production tracking through automation systems dedicated to handling and storage management.

Production decoupling

Activated by means of temporary storage and buffers, it allows the production phases to independently work  in the event of slowdowns or breakdowns.

Simplicity and strength

The BONFANTI equipment is designed according to the logic of operational continuity. The fundamental element is to assure the operation over time; this is achieved through mechanically sturdy solutions and with simple and proven control systems.

Efficiency and innovation

Efficiency and innovation are the conceptual basis of the design and of the technological development promoted by BONFANTI.

To optimize productivity levels, BONFANTI has developed a range of products able to satisfy complex operational requirements with an increase of the  missions aimed to reduce the downtime. The systems are designed to meet the specific requirements of extremely heavy handling while preserving safety, reliability and very high performance levels.

The systems are designed to meet the specific requirements of extremely heavy handling while preserving safety, reliability and very high performance levels.

The range of products allows the managing of the whole handling of the production process up to the phases dedicated to storage and shipping areas. Since each type of application has its own peculiarities, requiring specifically designed solutions, BONFANTI has customized and diversified the solutions according to the areas of the production process.

With the aim of a continuous improvement, the designed solutions are constantly updated to make them suitable for the interfacing with production equipment.

The design basis of the systems requires the utmost care in the standardization of the mechanical and electrical parts in order to make the procurement of spare parts convenient.

Automation

In a framework of continuous technological and organizational evolution, automation represents the essential landmark on which BONFANTI systems are designed.

BONFANTI specializes in the study of fully automatic customized solutions, dedicated to interfacing with the operational logic of production equipment.

The technological level of automatic solutions is guaranteed through the design and the supply of systems whose higher precision in handling, reduced wear of components, increased productivity and operational reliability and a higher functional safety are landmark of a company philosophy aimed at satisfying any specific customer requirements.   

Transition 4.0

Our machines and systems equipped with the specific BONFANTI package related to the "Transition 4.0" are included in the list of capital goods whose operation is controlled by computerized systems or managed by appropriate sensors and drives. They thus meet the five mandatory technical characteristics indicated in the attachment A of the Law 11 December 2016, n. 232, as amended by the Laws 27 December 2017, n. 205 and 30 December 2018, n. 145. They meet at least two of the three additional technical characteristics indicated in Annex A of the Law 11 December 2016, no. 232, as amended by the Laws 27 December 2017, n. 205 and 30 December 2018, n. 145 and therefore, they are able to benefit from fiscal advantages provided by the Law 30 December 2020, n. 178.

BONFANTI solutions for the Steel & Metal industry:

Scrap Yard Cranes

These are very fast cranes usually designed in the highest classes foreseen by the standards.
Particular attention is dedicated to the predisposition for under hook equipment such as magnets / grabs with corresponding electrical control cabinets, cable reels and backup batteries and to their eventual supply.

Furnace Charging Cranes

Furnace Charging Cranes are designed to be used in an environment where the key words are safety, redundancy and reliability, reeving with four independent ropes, double motors and double hoisting brakes, emergency brakes on drum and easy maintenance are only a few particularities.

Casting Cranes

Casting Cranes, being critical and operating with a high risk level, foresee a range of applications that ensure an uninterrupted operation with highest reliability levels.

Ladle Turrets

They are built to serve continuous castings lines and normally house two ladles.
The rotation is performed on abundantly dimensioned slewing bearing and double rotation mechanisms duly protected and housed inside the supporting column, each able to perform the movement.

Rolling Mill/Cage Changing Cranes

These cranes are designed in a way to be able to be used for normal production operations where high speed is required as well as for maintenance / cage changing operations where slow and precise speeds are requested. 

Bar/Coil/Bundle/Steel Sheet Handling Cranes

These cranes are normally used for handling of finished products at the end of lamination line and / or inside finished product warehouse.
In function of the plant layout, these cranes can be equipped with rotation trolley.
