EFFICIENCY AND INNOVATION IN CLAY MACHINERY: BONGIOANNI’S IP92 AND TES

Bongioanni Macchine manufactures machines and equipment for the clay bricks and roofing tile industry. It takes care of the designing, production and realization of complete lines for the manufacture of clay bricks and/or tiles with a wet process, covering the whole requirements from the raw material to the wet finished product and turn-key complete plants with the major Engineering companies of the field. The experience develop in more than 100 years is a guarantee of quality, reliability and performance both in the realization of new lines and in the implementation of existing installations. Particular care is always dedicated to the raw materials refining phases, as well as to the control and development of the forming unit for extrusion and for pressing. With the brand name Bongioanni Stampi, completes the activity thanks to the realization of moulds and of extrusion dies necessary to the correct shaping of products.

 

The IP92 press has more than 45 years of history and it is the more iconic press of Bongioanni Macchine. With a pressing strength of 900 kN and a production capacity of 600 pieces per minute, is designed to grant high efficiency and energy saving. Thanks to the integration of a Rexroth 22Kw variable displacement hydraulic pump, the quantity of oil required for operation is significantly reduced, thus raising sustainability standards and reducing operating costs. Besides, the sturdiness and already long-lasting lifespan of the machine have been further improved through the application of finite element calculations (FEM). The configuration of the new press allows to maximize the operational flexibility, with the possibility of adjusting the press stroke for single or double stroke, and a height of the moulds pack of 350mm. The IP92 is not only a press but it is a completely compact, integrated and modernly automated system that is also ideal to installed in robotic production lines. This makes it a very flexible solution, perfect for companies seeking to maximize efficiency and minimize downtimes, setting new standards in the hydraulic press sector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EXTRUDER TYPE TECNO – DIES GAMMA PLUS

This extruders, suitable for extruding clay in automatic cycle, is available in different compositions based on the production capacity required. They make up a complete series to suit every need and capacity production surface. They are recognized from the market as machines with a very high reliability, high efficiency and ease of use. It opens to a wide range of sizes and possibility of configurations sequences. Thanks to the cooperation with Bongioanni Stampi we have created a patented system named T.E.S.  The coated pressure head HE and the modular extrusion dies GAMMA PLUS are an integral part of T.E.S. (Tecno Extrusion system) with is included in the project of our extruders type TECNO. This system is designed to optimize the extruder’s operation and to assure a considerable energy saving to achieve an overall major improvement of the efficiency and performances of the extrusion system. In particular our extrusion dies type Gamma Plus guarantees high-efficiency standards and assure an improvement in the performances of the extruder. The result of such improvements is a significant energy saving thanks to the study and design of internal geometries that allows to reduce the friction. The extrusion dies type GAMMA PLUS are equipped with a special cores-holding bridge designed to make the flowing of clay smoother. Besides, the combination of extrusion dies type Gamma Plus and Coated Pressure Head HE, assures a synergetic connection of inclinations which also contributes to the reduction of frictions. In some cases, the rate of energy saving achieved thanks to the T.E.S. system is very high. This saving  is also favored by other external factors, such as the quality of clay (more or less plastic and therefore more or less fluid) and the attention of the operator: these factors of variability are duly considered by the T.E.S. system which features an ergonomic operator’s panel with the aim to make the actions of the operator easier thus minimizing the possibility of error  in the  control and  oversee of the extrusion system. All this results into an overall optimization of the final product and into a reduction of wastes with a consequent further energy saving.
