Gear reducer for twin screw extruder
POSITWIN GL PIV Drives

Double shaft extruder gears have been built by PIV Drives since 1984 for a variety of applications in the plastics and food industries. This product is in operation around the world to the complete satisfaction of our customer base. The gearing is case hardened and ground with a profile correction for optimal load-bearing performance and noise reduction. An extremely quiet gear-train is achieved through a high contact ratio. The axial forces which occur during the extrusion process are safely absorbed through a system of tandem bearings and self-aligning roller thrust bearings.
