Gearbox Replacement, Repair or Rebuild
One of Extrusion Consulting's most valuable services lies in the rehabilitation and replacement of gearboxes for twin-screw extruders, which are critical to consistent performance and long-term equipment reliability. The gearbox of a twin-screw extruder is the mechanical heart of the system, transferring motor power to the rotating screws with precise torque and synchronization. When these units fail or degrade, the consequences can include poor mixing, reduced throughput, and costly downtime. Extrusion Consulting provides a thorough, engineering-based approach to gearbox replacement. Our team begins with an assessment of the existing system's torque requirements, drive ratios, bearing arrangements, and interface dimensions - all to ensure that any new gearbox matches or exceeds the original specifications. This attention to detail minimizes mechanical integration issues and helps customers restore or even improve extruder performance.
