The HDPE series is the configuration specifically developed for single-screw extruder drive generated from the renown heavy duty series HDP, with which it shares most of the component parts and gearing.
Mounted forward to the sturdy nodular cast iron case, and housed into a robust extruder support, HDPE units feature a heavy duty spherical roller thrust bearing of series 294…E, exclusively sourced from primary brands. The particular construction guarantees a common lubrication for the gearbox rotating parts as well as the extruder support.
Due to extreme modularity, each of the HDPE frame sizes allows the selection of the most suitable bearing to win the axial forces generated by the extruder screw, resulting into both a technically optimized and a price effective drive unit. Customized mounting dimensions for the extruder support will allow matching most of the Customers’ machine interfaces.
