gearbox repair for
plastics extruders
Depending on the age and make of your extruder, the gearbox may not be supported by the OEM. Xtrutech have the specialist knowledge to repair damaged gearboxes, and to recondition gearboxes that have reached the limit in terms of performance of oil seals, gears, or bearings.
Whether the gearbox is damaged, or worn out, the key element of Xtrutech’s support is an inspection. Following this inspection and evaluation of the condition the gearbox is in, a report is produced which includes a quotation itemising the work that is required. This inspection can be carried out on site, or alternatively the gearbox can be shipped to Xtrutech. Only on acceptance is any further cost incurred. It is our standard practice to provide fresh bearings and seals no matter what other parts have been replaced.
After reconditioning, it is recommended that the gearbox be professionally refitted by an Xtrutech service engineer, to include verification of the alignment of the input and output shafts, and a check made of the calibration and condition of the torque limiter coupling.
