Brevini: a history spanning 55 years Brevini, with its power transmission division, is among the world’s top five manufacturers in the sector of mechanical transmissions and gear drives, thanks to growing market shares in industrial applications (steel industry, plastics production, materials handling) and in innovative systems such as wind turbines, waste recycling plants, and energy production. Brevini is a major player also in the mining sector and in marine technologies. Established in 1960 by the brothers Renato, Luciano and Corrado, Brevini was the first Italian company to manufacture planetary...

Brevini Winches - Our History 1970 - RAF Series Brevini Riduttori 1980 - Winches Brevini Engineering Products 1990 - BW Series Brevini Winches Brevini Power Transmission INTEGRATED SYSTEM Brevini

Since 1970 Over the years, our reliability and technological evolution have always been at the service of our costumers. We will continue along this path in the future to ensure even greater customer satisfaction. Winches: a pillar of our portfolio Brevini Riduttori, thanks to its wide experience in gearboxes development, began designing and manufacturing its first range of “RAF” winch drives in the seventies. In the eighties, the company started producing complete winches. The design was handled initially by BEP, Brevini Engineering Products, Brevini Riduttori’s engineering firm responsible...

Brevini in the winches world The Winches are a perfect example of combined solution developed thanks to Brevini’s mechanical, hydraulics and electronics know-how and capabilities. The full development process, from the idea to the design, from the prototype to the mass production, is managed internally and monitored according to high-demanding quality protocols. All the phases as assembly, painting, rope mounting and testing are internally managed. Very relevant the Testing phase: Not only the finished goods are checked 100% at the end of the assembly line, some pieces are collected and deeply...

Application - Belt conveyors A Belt conveyor is an arrangement of mechanical components that supports and propels a conveyor belt, which in turn carries bulk material. Used wherever is necessary handling bulk material through conveyors, Belt conveyors are present in many application sectors as: mining plants, port installation, sugarcane plants, cement plants. The transmission of the motion from the prime mover to the belt is by friction between a drum connected to the motor and the belt itself. A Take-up device provides the means to maintain the proper tension on and to adjust the length of...

Automatic Take-up Winch In Take-up Winch solution the Winch performs both the function: replaces the counterweight, keeping the belt tensioned, and is used during maintenance operation. Take-ups solution can be considered the most flexible one, due to the easy installation and easy handling, fundamental in case of mobile conveyor that are constantly relocated. The significantly reduction of space is a key benefit in case of tight spaces like the underground mining. Take-up Winch Solution has many vantages compare to the counterbalance tower even in application where it’s not necessary to be re-lockable:...

Application - Belt conveyors The Standard Brevini Take-up Range starts with 5 ton and can reach up to 20 ton line pull on first layer. The line pull capacity can be improved by the use of pulley arrangements according to each application requirements. For special requirements, it is available custom design Winches according to each application.

How it’s made The Winch is connected on the belt tensioner roll by cable steel, directly or through a pulley arrangement, accordingly to the customer needs. The Load cell provides the current value of belt tension to the PLC command. The PLC controls the inverter which drives the Electric motor, if the tension value is near of the upper or lower value admitted, the Electric motor rewinds or winds the cable to the proper tension. For operations start up the Winch is operated manually (Manual Mode) in order to set the belt tension range signals for the load cell and PLC Controller. After the tension...

Take-up Winch Range Electric Take-up Winch In the Electric configuration the Winch is driven directly by the electric motor, controlled by the Inverter. The coupling between the motor shaft and the input shaft of the gearbox transmits the rotation. The safety is guaranteed by caliper brake that acts on the drum flange. The Grooved Drum and the Pressure Roller ensure the proper winding of the rope while the max and min. rotation of the drum is controlled by the Electric Limit Switch operating opposite side of input shaft. The tension is constantly monitored and adjusted though the Inverter controlled...
