At Specialty Gear Drives, we specialize in the emergency repair of EREMA Gearboxes.
All Fields Must Be Filled Out
In the high-volume world of plastic recycling, downtime is a revenue killer. Whether you are running an INTAREMA, VACUREMA, or TVEplus system, a seized extruder drive means your entire melt flow stops. At Specialty Gear Drives, we specialize in the emergency repair of EREMA Gearboxes We return your unit to better-than-OEM condition, often saving you up to 60% compared to a replacement unit.
Pioneers of the Circular Economy
Founded in Austria in 1983, EREMA (Engineering Recycling Machines and Anlagen) revolutionized the plastics industry by combining the cutter/compactor and extruder into a single, efficient system. They are the undisputed global market leader in plastic recycling technologies, renowned for their ability to handle heavily contaminated post consumer waste and turn it into high-quality pellets. However, the immense torque required to shred, melt, and extrude plastic places catastrophic stress on the drivetrain. When these robust units finally fail, you cannot afford to wait weeks for European shipping. You need Specialty Gear Drives.
High Torque Meets Heavy Contamination.
EREMA drives operate under brutal conditions, managing variable loads from inconsistent plastic feedstocks. We frequently analyze and Repair:
Massive back-pressure from the extruder screw pushes directly against the gearbox output shaft, frequently crushing the main thrust bearings.
If output shaft seals fail, molten plastic can back up into the gearbox, solidifying around the gears and starving the unit of lubrication.
Constant torque fluctuations from shredding plastic bales create shock loads that pit and fracture gear teeth over time.
Continuous 24/7 operation leads to thermal breakdown of the oil, resulting in metal-on-metal wear and accelerated failure.
Why We Are The Best In The Industry
Factory-Spec Rebuilding with In-House Manufacturing
We don’t just swap parts; we re-engineer the unit to handle the load. Because we manufacture our own gearing in-house, we can turn jobs around in days, not weeks.
We pick up your gearbox and perform full inspection.
Magnetic Particle Inspection detects hidden cracks.
Precision gears manufactured in-house.
Premium bearings & seals installed.
Perfect shaft alignment for vibration-free operation.
