Challenge

The rescue vehicle manufacturer required a drive for a hydraulic crane that would:

• handle extremely high loads,
• operate in demanding off-road conditions,
• ensure reliability in critical situations.

Standard solutions did not meet the project requirements.

Solution

Selection and implementation of a dedicated planetary drive for the crane:

• analysis of the technical requirements,
• selection of a Bonfiglioli planetary gearbox and hydraulic motor,
• engineering support and consultation with the manufacturer.

The result was a drive system fully tailored to the specialist vehicle.

Result

• a proven drive operating in an actual rescue vehicle,
• rapid approval and implementation of the project by the customer,
• potential for series production of approximately 20 vehicles per year,
• presentation of the completed solution at industry trade fairs.

Product used

Bonfiglioli planetary drive for hydraulic cranes:

• planetary gearbox
• hydraulic motor
• configuration tailored to the application

Challenge

A customer from the food industry was modernizing a production line and required drives for meat mixers capable of handling demanding continuous operation and high loads.

Solution

As part of the development of the Motovario MAC Premium Gearbox Assembly Centre, the assembly of two drives based on Motovario HPL planetary gearboxes, model HPL 180, was prepared and initiated. The solution was selected with consideration for the application parameters, durability requirements and compatibility with the specific machine.

Result

• completion of the first order involving large HPL planetary gearboxes,
• implementation of the solution in a food industry application,
• development of the assembly centre’s capabilities in handling demanding industrial drives,
• preparation for the fulfilment of further orders.

Product used

Motovario HPL planetary drive:

• HPL 180 planetary gearbox,
• configuration tailored to industrial mixers,
• assembly carried out at the Archimedes MAC Premium Assembly Centre.

Challenge

The gearbox previously used by the customer did not meet the application requirements:

• the equipment was operating too quickly,
• it was feeding an excessive amount of material,
• the output torque was too low,
• the system frequently became blocked.

A solution was required that would provide the correct operating parameters and ensure stable performance.

Solution

A Chiaravalli planetary gearbox, model CHPL 50004, was proposed together with a 22 kW motor and a forced cooling system. The selection was supported by an analysis of the technical parameters, including torque, loads and service life. The solution was compared with a competing SEW offer and successfully justified during meetings with the equipment manufacturer and the investor.

Result

• selection of a gearbox meeting the application’s technical requirements,
• elimination of problems caused by the previous incorrect selection,
• selection of the Archimedes solution over a competing supplier,
• implementation of the gearbox in the installation and delivery of a spare unit.

Product used

Chiaravalli planetary gearbox:

• model CHPL 50004,
• torque of up to approximately 58,299 Nm,
• operation with a 22 kW motor,
• forced cooling option.

Challenge

At a wastewater treatment plant, a drive unit that had been operating since the 1990s failed and was no longer available on the market. The system consisted of three interconnected gearboxes and powered a wastewater mixer.
The design presented additional challenges:

• limited installation space,
• an unconventional shaft design with a movable flange,
• the need to maintain the required technical parameters, including a gear ratio of i=17000,
• the requirement for easy installation and removal without modifying the mixer structure.

Solution

A drive system based on a Chiaravalli CHPL18003 CMC planetary gearbox was proposed, combined with a CHM50-60 worm gearbox and a KC12022 chain coupling.
The solution was selected to:

• meet the technical requirements of the existing installation,
• enable installation within the limited available space,
• reduce the risk of installation errors,
• remain competitive in terms of both price and delivery time.

Result

• successful replacement of the discontinued drive with a new solution,
• maintenance of the mixer’s required operating parameters,
• adaptation to the existing structure without modifying the installation,
• selection of the Archimedes solution over competing international suppliers.

Product used

Drive system based on Chiaravalli components:

• CHPL18003 CMC planetary gearbox,
• CHM50-60 worm gearbox,
• KC12022 chain coupling,
• configuration adapted to the wastewater mixer.

Challenge

The customer required a drive solution for roller conveyors that would be tailored to the parameters of the installation and the specific operating conditions of the metal industry.

Solution

As part of the cooperation and project analysis, Motovario HPL planetary gearboxes in a flange-mounted version, model HPL 030, were selected.

The selection process was carried out jointly with the customer during a meeting and a detailed review of the application, allowing the solution to be precisely matched to the requirements of the transport system.

Result

• delivery of ready-to-install gearboxes tailored to the customer’s application,
• implementation of the solution in roller conveyors,
• efficient project execution thanks to close cooperation during the selection process.

Product used

Motovario HPL planetary gearbox:

• model HPL 030 2-14.9,
• flange-mounted version,
• configuration tailored to roller conveyors.

Challenge

The modernization of one of Poland’s largest conference and entertainment venues required the use of reliable drive components for stage applications that will support future events.

Solution

Three Motovario helical-bevel gearboxes, model B 163, were supplied and prepared as part of the final installation in the Congress Hall.

The solution forms part of a broader modernization project in which Archimedes is participating as a supplier of drive components.

Result

• delivery of gearboxes for a prestigious modernization project,
• participation in the implementation of a stage application in a large entertainment venue,
• expansion of the cooperation to include the supply of additional components for the project.

Product used

Motovario helical-bevel gearboxes:

• model B 163,
• version designed for stage applications,
• configuration tailored to installation in an entertainment venue.
