Yet another variation of the helical gearbox just with some added features that distinguishes it from the other variants in the same categories.

The extruder gearboxes are generally used in the plastic extruder machinery or rubber extruder machinery.

We have been known for the production of the finest quality single screw extruder gearboxes with the utilization of the best quality raw material present at our disposal.

They utilize input power in the maximum range of 2 to 250 kw. It exerts an input torque of 346 to 25000 Nm. The screw diameter which is equipped in the extruder gearbox is between the ranges of 20 to 200 mm. And additionally, they are present in three types which are as follows:

• Single stage
• Two stage
• Three stage

Why should you choose single screw extruder gearbox?

Now, single screw extruder offers you an array of advantages. So, here I will be listing some of them which will let you decide how you can use them to your best optimum advantage.

So, the advantage of using single screw extruder gearboxes are as follows:

• Single screw extruder gearboxes are equipped with the helical tooth gearings which work more efficiently. Plus, it has reduced power tariff and operation costs as a result they seem to have improved power efficiency. And not only they have improved power efficiency but also have been beneficial for industrial setups due to its reduced operational costs.
•  They have inbuilt thrust HSG which is known to increase the gearbox durability, reliability and saves space.
• Have efficient heat transmission capacity.
• It can be configured in multiple design configurations.

Design of the single screw extruder gearboxes

It is cast in graded iron material. They have the additional benefit of universal mounting design as a result they have to save maximum space in the machinery. Gears are cast in steel alloys which add to their durability.

Zeal Gears manufactures and supplier these gearboxes which are incorporated with internal cooling coils made up of high-performance material to assist in heat dissipation process.

For assistance in cleaning the magnetic drain, plugs are used in the gearboxes when filter the impurities created due to the lubricants. Thus, it increases the efficiency of the machinery.

Their inner linings of the walls are coated with epoxy for oil resistance mechanisms and it also assists in improved cleaning. And an additional feature that has been added in these extruder gearboxes is the use of silicon oil which acts as heat resistant material.
