Repair pricing, failure modes, and turnaround for extruder gearboxes — or sell yours for cash.
Extruder gearboxes take huge continuous torque with heavy axial thrust from the screw — plastics, rubber, and food extrusion lines stop cold when one goes down.
We arrange complete teardown, failure analysis, and rebuild to OEM spec for extruder gearboxes of every major brand — including Flender, Falk, Davis-Standard, Zambello, Henschel. Typical rebuild cost runs 30–60% of a new unit, with 5–14 day standard turnaround and 24–72 hour emergency service, against new-unit lead times that often stretch 16–30 weeks. Every quote comes with the full picture: standard shop price, our in-house price, replacement cost, and a cash offer for the unit as-is.
And if the numbers say replace instead of repair, we don't walk away — we buy failed, surplus, and decommissioned extruder gearboxes for cash, any condition, nationwide pickup. Even a seized unit carries value in its castings, alloy gearing, and copper windings.
