Hundreds of Drives Run Your Plant.
One Partner Now Stands Behind Them.
This issue: a deep-dive into Bonfiglioli — Italy — the family-run engineering leader in heavy-duty gearboxes, geared motors, electric motors and frequency inverters, now exclusively represented in Iraq by Sourh Zamzam. From the crusher to the packer, every rotating auxiliary in your cement plant is covered.
One drive partner across the whole flowsheet. Bonfiglioli powers the auxiliary machines at every stage of cement production:
CRUSHINGCrusher & apron-feeder drives
HANDLINGBelt conveyors · stackers · reclaimers
AUXILIARIESFeeders · elevators · screws
DISPATCHPackers · loaders · conveyors
Plus plant utilities — water-treatment clarifiers, aerators and screw presses — all driven by the same Bonfiglioli heavy-duty and industrial ranges, all supplied through one Iraqi partner.
Parallel-shaft (HDP) and bevel-helical (HDO) heavy-duty gear units for conveyors, bucket elevators and feeders. Taconite seals against cement dust, fan cooling or cooling coils, backstops, oil heaters and temperature sensors — built for 24/7 duty from −40°C to high desert ambients, with ATEX versions for explosive atmospheres.
Compact planetary gearboxes and geared motors with nominal torque up to 1,300,000 Nm — cooling-system-free, modular, with integrated brake options. The workhorse for apron feeders, slew drives and heavy positioning duties where space is tight and shock loads are constant.
Planetary torque density combined with bevel-helical robustness — the highest transmissible power in the Bonfiglioli portfolio. Engineered for crushers and heavy feeders: extreme breakaway torque at start-up, high shock resistance from falling material, double torque arms and forced lubrication on demand.
Complete key-turn drive stations for belt and overland conveyors: gear unit, motor, fluid coupling for soft start, brake, baseplate and axial fan delivered as one engineered package — dust-proof and rated for continuous operation in all conditions.
Asynchronous and synchronous motors across sizes and powers, plus cabinet and decentralized frequency inverters — tune feeder and conveyor speeds precisely, cut energy consumption and protect drives from load shocks with one matched electro-mechanical package.
Send us the nameplate data of any gearbox or geared motor in your plant — Bonfiglioli or third-party. We cross-reference the duty and propose a matched Bonfiglioli replacement or retrofit, delivered with Sourh Zamzam’s full Iraqi customs, documentation and plant-gate logistics.
Your Application. The Bonfiglioli Answer.
| PLANT APPLICATION | THE DUTY CHALLENGE | BONFIGLIOLI SOLUTION |
|---|---|---|
| Apron feeder | High breakaway torque, falling-material shock | 300M planetary geared motor |
| Crusher | 24/7/365 continuity, extreme shock loads | 3/H or 300 Series with torque arm |
| Belt / overland conveyor | Soft start, dust, long unattended runs | HD powerpack with fluid coupling |
| Bucket elevator | Anti-runback, vertical heavy lift | HDP with integrated backstop |
| Stacker / reclaimer | Slew, travel and boom-conveyor drives | 300 slew + HDO boom drives |
| Packing & dispatch | Variable speed, frequent start-stop | Geared motors + frequency inverters |
| Water treatment | Continuous low-speed, high-thrust duty | HDP/HDO clarifier & aerator drives |
Every solution can be specified with taconite seals, corrosion-resistant paint systems, cooling and monitoring options selected for Iraqi plant conditions.
Official Bonfiglioli publications. Need a catalogue for a specific series — HDP, HDO, 300, 3/H, motors or inverters? Contact us — the full technical library is available through Sourh Zamzam.
One matched electro-mechanical package — gearbox, motor and inverter engineered together by one manufacturer, so responsibility is never split between suppliers when a drive underperforms.
Replacement & retrofit engineering — send nameplate photos of any existing drive and we propose a Bonfiglioli equivalent sized to the real duty, often with better sealing, cooling and efficiency than the original.
Harsh-environment specification as standard — taconite seals, dust-proof designs, corrosion-resistant paints and cooling options selected for the heat, dust and continuous duty of Iraqi cement plants.
Full Iraq logistics managed by Sourh Zamzam — customs clearance, CBI-compliant invoicing and delivery to your plant gate across all Iraqi border crossings.
Independently certified under Ethixbase360 Trace. Sourh Zamzam is fully compliant with all applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery and sanctions laws. Every 12 months we are re-certified through a rigorous third-party review of our documents, transactions and activities, with our full team trained and certified annually.
