Customization of your extruder gearbox

500-600 extruder gearboxes are manufactured in RSGetriebe’s production facility per year. They all share their great power density and the absolute precision with which each gearbox is manufactured. What makes each of them special is that every gearbox has been customized exactly to the requirements of the customer. A modular system with 15 sizes and torques up to 250,000 Nm covers a broad range of applications. On top of that, the gearbox manufacturer also develops individual concepts to fulfill individual requirements.

Extruder gearboxes made by RSG have established themselves in the market for many different applications – among them blown film lines. Thanks to a compact housing contour, great surface power density and extremely precise attachment parts, RSGetriebe won an order of its drive solutions by a global company based in Augsburg, Germany. In the area of multilayer lines in particular, the flexibility offered by RSGetriebe is indispensable in order to achieve optimum conditions and set new standards.

Many manufacturers of plastic recycling plants also rely on the sophisticated drive concepts of RSGetriebe to reliably produce a maximum of granulate and guarantee a continuous output. One of this industry’s hotspots is Upper Austria. Long-standing partnerships with companies from this region demonstrate the quality and reliability of RSGetriebe’s drive solutions.

The different types of gearbox are as diverse as the applications of RSGetriebe’s customers in the area of extrusion. RSGetriebe offers individual transmissions, alternative bearing concepts or space-saving gearbox solutions with a bevel gear stage. Reversing operation, screw pullout to the back or interface to the motor or extruder, RSGetriebe develops a customized solution for your application. RSGetriebe does not compromise when it comes to customer requirements, but simply meets them.

New applications permit the highest degree of condition monitoring. This maximizes the highest degree of operational reliability and at the same time drastically reduces maintenance requirements. Needs-oriented maintenance intervals, maximization of the service life through control of the gearbox parameters and early detection of overload or dangers to the operational reliability are thus guaranteed at all times.
