Maximum performance level, fast deliverable
FLENDER helical gear units for double-screw extruders with parallel drive shafts and the same direction of screw rotation are available in several sizes in the performance range between 200 and 35 000 Nm per shaft and for up to 20 000 kW. They are used mainly in the manufacture of granulates and the refining of raw plastics as well as in the paint and lacquer industry and in the washing agent, foodstuff and animal-feed industries.
FLENDER extruder gear units are the best drive in all cases, because they are high-performing and reliable. Because of their long service life and their need for little maintenance work, they represent an economically attractive solution worldwide.
FLENDER has the greatest experience with gear units in the world market and provides customers with extremely high-performing products, as well as tried and tested engineering expertise and a full service. FLENDER helical gear units for double-screw extruders are also extremely standardised and allow customer-specific configurations without any problem. For instance center-distance modifications can be realised with very little construction effort and expense, so enabling cost-optimised customer-specific variants.
Double-screw extruder (synchronous)
To be able to absorb the very high torques and axial forces set up by the extrusion process, we have developed an extruder gear unit with a double power-splitting system and special thrust bearings. The bearing system can consist of up to eight thrust bearings layered one behind the other.
