Single screw extruder GL

tubefor PPfor HDPE

The GL (= gearless) extruder series offer an alternative drive concept. A frequency-controlled, high-torque AC motor is used to drive the screw, with the screw and the motor’s output shaft forming a single line. The high-torque AC motor has a high degree of efficiency at all levels – even under partial load. Since the drives of the GL series operate without gears, all those energy losses caused by a gear transmission system, such as flange loss or heating, are also eliminated. The alternative drive concept. Your Advantages: *Virtually no expense for maintenance (no motor air filter servicing, no gearbox oil change) and consequently cost savings *Operation at low noise and vibration levels *Higher degree of efficiency in the extruder’s drive chain thanks to high-torque motor technology *Smaller footprint with easy access Our Offer: *Water-cooled, high-torque AC motor for low energy consumption *Reduced number of drive components *Compact design
