extruder shafts for
food mixer extruders
The screw shafts transmit the torque from the main drive to the screw elements. Screw shafts have taken various forms over the years. From round keyed shafts to multi-splined shafts, each design will carries an increasing load in terms of torque. We can replace and transform your round, keyed shafts to hex or bi-hex or even splined. Materials of construction coupled with heat treatments and spline design will improve the reliability of your extruder.
Xtrutech offer up-grade solutions to convert round shafts to hexagon and / or to splined shafts, we can either upgrade from the gearbox output shaft or simply modify the shaft couplings, Talk to our experts to determine the most cost effective way of up-grading your shafts to give improved reliability and performance.
All shafts produced by Xtrutech are made from the highest performance steel available using trusted manufacturing technology and heat treatments to allow you to utilise your extruder to it limits.
Key Points
- Hexagon shafts machined from ground round bar are far less prone to fatigue failures than original OEM shafts
- Reduce shaft breakages by servicing your torque limiter coupling
- Change to higher strength splined shafts if your hexagon shafts keep breaking
- Round to hexagon / splined shaft conversions are stronger, more reliable and can save time when removing screw elements
