Well, they are made with high technology and computer system to set perfect dimensions of the gearboxes which would work efficiently.

Plus, we have designed our gearbox while keeping in mind certain important aspects which are as follows:

  • Heat transfer mechanism
  • Lubrication
  • High performance
  • Durable raw material
  • High torque
  • Low noise
  • Less wear and tear of the gear spares.

Product Specification:

  • Input Speed:1500 rpm
  • Power: 2 kW to 250 kW
  • Rated Power: 4.2 kW – 565 kW
  • Power Source: Electric Motor
  • Required Materials: High Graded Alloy Steel
  • Output Torque:265 Nm – 36700 Nm

The application of Extruder Helical gear box are as under:

  • Plastic Industry
  • Rubber Industry
  • Food Industry
  • And other Industry

Now, we design this Extruder helical gearbox while keeping in mind that they should be able to withstand high torque generated by the machinery. It should be able to run continuously without any problem of overheating and rough gliding movements due to high friction generation and lack of lubrication.

And yeah! Most importantly, they should be able to withstand the high thrust loads generated by the extrusion machinery.

Let’s quickly enlighten the above-stated aspects in more vivid details.

Now, how possibly could you manage the heat transfer of the machinery or gearboxes in particular? There is no denying the fact that constant friction and torque applied to the gearboxes is going to generate heat. And consequently, it may hinder the efficiency of the machinery and overheat could also affect the kinetics of the process going on.

So, we incorporate cooling coils made up of copper alloy in the gearboxes and coat the inner linings of the machinery with heat resistant material that would protect the machinery from excessive wear and tear as well.

So, you are aiming you birds with a single stone here. Second, we coat our machinery with high-performance oil that fulfils its lubrication requirements as well.

Now, how is it able to withstand the thrust load? We equip our gear units with spherical roller thrust bearings that is capable of bearing axial thrust load. And as stated earlier, these gears are manufactured with supreme high-quality steel alloys to withstand the torque generated by the extrusions machinery.

You can mount these helical gearboxes vertically on the machinery. Or, we are the trusted manufacturer of gearboxes with additional flanges so that you can install it suit your requirements.

So, yeah, another pro of using our extrusion helical gearboxes is that it is easily installed without any hassle.

FAQ for Extruder Helical Gearbox

What is an extruder helical gearbox?

An extruder helical gearbox is a mechanical device used to transmit power from a motor to an extruder, which processes materials like plastics or rubber. It uses helical gears, which have teeth cut at an angle to the gear axis, to provide smooth and efficient power transmission.

What are the benefits of using a helical gearbox in an extruder?
  • Smooth Operation: Helical gears engage gradually, reducing noise and vibration.
  • High Load Capacity: They can handle higher loads compared to spur gears.
  • Efficiency: They provide better power transmission efficiency with reduced energy loss.
  • Durability: They generally have a longer lifespan due to smoother engagement.
How does a helical gearbox differ from a spur gearbox?

Helical gearboxes have gears with teeth cut at an angle, which results in smoother and quieter operation compared to spur gearboxes, where the teeth are cut parallel to the axis. Helical gears also typically offer higher load capacity and efficiency.

What factors should be considered when selecting an extruder helical gearbox?
  • Load Requirements: Ensure the gearbox can handle the torque and load requirements of your extruder.
  • Speed: Match the gearbox’s speed ratio with the extruder’s speed requirements.
  • Efficiency: Look for gearboxes with high efficiency to minimize energy losses.
  • Durability: Consider the gearbox’s construction material and design for durability and longevity.
  • Cooling Needs: Check if the gearbox requires additional cooling for optimal performance.
What maintenance is required for an extruder helical gearbox?
  • Regular Inspection: Check for signs of wear, leakage, or abnormal noise.
  • Lubrication: Ensure the gearbox is properly lubricated as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
  • Cleaning: Keep the gearbox and surrounding area clean to prevent contamination.
  • Alignment: Regularly check the alignment of the gearbox and extruder to prevent premature wear.
How do I troubleshoot common issues with a helical gearbox?
  • Excessive Noise: Check for misalignment, lubrication issues, or gear wear.
  • Overheating: Ensure proper ventilation and cooling, and check for adequate lubrication also check bearing condition.
  • Vibration: Inspect for misalignment or imbalance and ensure all mounting bolts are secure.
  • Reduced Performance: Verify if the gearbox is operating within its specified load and speed limits.
What materials are extruder helical gearboxes typically made from?

Extruder helical gearboxes are commonly made from high-strength steel for the gears and aluminum or cast iron for the housing. The choice of material depends on the load requirements, operating environment, and durability needs.

Can an extruder helical gearbox be customized?

Yes, many manufacturers offer customization options to match specific requirements such as gear ratios, mounting configurations, and housing materials.

How do I properly install an extruder helical gearbox?
  • Alignment: Ensure precise alignment between the gearbox and the extruder.
  • Mounting: Securely mount the gearbox to prevent movement or vibration.
  • Lubrication: Apply the recommended lubricant and ensure it’s at the correct level.
  • Connection: Properly connect the input and output shafts.
Where can I find replacement parts or service for my extruder helical gearbox?

Contact the gearbox manufacturer or authorized distributors for replacement parts and service. Additionally, some third-party service providers specialize in gearbox repair and maintenance.
