An extruder gearbox is a specially engineered transmission system designed to meet the demanding torque and load requirements of plastic and rubber extrusion processes. Built for high torque output at low speeds, these gearboxes ensure consistent, reliable operation of single-screw or twin-screw extruders by providing smooth, efficient power transfer from the motor to the screw shaft. Featuring heavy-duty bearings, reinforced housings, and precision-machined gears—often helical or planetary—the extruder gearbox delivers exceptional performance under continuous duty cycles and high back pressures. Advanced thermal management, high radial and axial load capacity, and custom output shaft configurations make it an essential component for extruders used in the plastics, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
A helical gearbox is a high-performance mechanical drive system designed to transmit power efficiently through helical gears, which feature angled teeth that engage gradually and smoothly. This design ensures quieter operation, higher load capacity, and improved torque transmission compared to spur gear systems. Helical gearboxes are ideal for heavy-duty applications across industries such as manufacturing, mining, conveyors, material handling, and automation, offering superior performance under both high-speed and high-torque conditions. Their robust construction, durability, and energy efficiency make them a reliable choice for continuous operation in demanding environments.
Jockey Extruder gear boxes are designed to handle high torque loads, allowing for the extrusion of materials with high viscosity or resistance. This ensures efficient material processing and product quality, Extruder gear boxes are used in a wide range of extrusion processes, including plastic extrusion, rubber extrusion, and food extrusion. They can be adapted to accommodate different materials and extrusion requirements.
