castelletto posteriore e supporti portarulli bullonati

English translation: Frame and bolt-on roller journals

Italian term or phrase: castelletto posteriore e supporti portarulli bullonati
Still talking about the CIFA Magnum range - photo at: http://www.cifausa.com/other_products.html

"Quali novità presenta la betoniera?
La più importante è costituita dalla modifica del castelletto posteriore, per consentire il montaggio di supporti portarulli bullonati: ciò consentirà di montare supporti a doppio rullo con tamburo da 115 e supporti a rullo singolo con i tamburi da 80. Inoltre sarà possibile allineare in qualsiasi momento i rulli, anche presso il cantiere, senza dover rimuovere il cordone di saldatura degli attuali supporti."

Castelletto posteriore = Rear framework?

And what could the supporti portarulli bullonati be in this context? Are they for rollers for flattening/compressing the concrete? Please excuse my ignorance on this subject.

TIA

Explanation:
Hi again,
You are getting into deeper and deeper water here - like me with my jewels.
"Castelletto posteriore" could be generically "rear supporting frame" as you propose, although perhaps (certainly) there is a proper term for this assembly in the trade. Since it's at the rear I suppose we're in the area of the mixer drum, which is perhaps your 80 / 115 measurement if it is interchangeable. I don't know. Anyway, the rollers are *probably* supporting the rotation of the drum and their supports could be reasonably called "journals" imo. If the drum itself is interchangeable it seems logical to assume that its supporting rollers might have to be changed at the same time, although why the need to eliminate a weld bead has thereby been eliminated is a mystery to me. You could probably do with more info from your customer. A journal is the round pin about which the roller rotates, if the "supporto" is construed as a more complex mechanical structure then you might prefer "journal assembly" or even that old faithful "support".
Cheers
