Product Overview

KAIBO’s Single-Screw Extruder Gearbox, an ISO 9001-certified solution custom-engineered for single-screw extruders (granulation lines, cast film systems, and sheet extrusion machines), addresses high-load power transmission challenges with unparalleled reliability. Crafted with 18CrNiMo7-6 precision gear grinding and a ductile iron housing, this gearbox ensures 98% operational efficiency, reducing energy costs by 18% in PP/PE granulation and enabling high-speed production at 200m/min for film extrusion. As a leading single-screw extruder gearbox manufacturer, KAIBO integrates axial load-resistant design to stabilize large-diameter screws, minimizing vibration and noise (≤75dB no-load) for continuous industrial applications demanding precision and durability.

Core Advantages

High-Strength Ductile Iron Housing: Engineered to resist deformation and corrosion, supporting heavy axial loads from single-screw extrusion.
Precision-Ground Alloy Gears: Heat-treated 18CrNiMo7-6 gears with involute tooth profiles ensure smooth transmission and minimal wear.
Pressurized Forced-Lubrication System: Advanced oil circulation reduces friction, enhances efficiency, and extends component life by 30%.
Single-Screw Specific Design: Tailored to handle high axial forces, stabilizing screws up to 120mm diameter for consistent extrusion.
Ultra-Low Noise Operation: ≤75dB (no-load at 1m) via optimized gear meshing and housing rigidity, meeting industrial noise standards.
Rigorous Quality Testing: Each gearbox undergoes dynamic load testing, thermal cycling, and vibration analysis for 10,000+ hours of maintenance-free operation.

Application Scenarios

PP/PE Granulation Lines: High-torque drive for single-screw pelletizers in recycling and resin production.
High-Speed Cast Film Extrusion: Precision speed control for film thickness uniformity in packaging and agricultural films.
ABS/PVC Sheet Extrusion: Heavy-load support for single-screw machines producing construction-grade sheets.
Bioplastic Extrusion: Energy-efficient drives for eco-friendly material processing with variable torque needs.
Medical Device Manufacturing: Low-noise, high-precision gearboxes for single-screw extrusion of medical-grade plastics.

FAQs

Q1: How to select the right single-screw extruder gearbox?

A: Choose a gearbox by analyzing material needs (e.g., high torque for PP/PE granulation), matching input power (1.5–110 kW) and output speed (30–1200 RPM) to your extruder, and prioritizing IP66 protection for harsh environments. KAIBO’s 3-step process delivers custom solutions within 24h.

Q2: What maintenance ensures long-term reliability?

A: Maintain gearboxes by replacing ISO 680 EP oil every 500–800h (new units) or annually, monthly checking for gear/bearing wear, monitoring oil temp (≤70°C), and cleaning cooling jackets quarterly. Proactive care extends life by 30%.

Q3: How does KAIBO’s design reduce noise?

A: KAIBO uses precision-ground involute gears, ductile iron housing, and forced lubrication to achieve ≤75dB noise. Features like SKF bearings and EU-compliant design suit noise-sensitive applications.
