Key to the reliability of the Press, a good Gearbox is
essential to the success of a Press Design. It transmits the power of the
motor to the Worm Assembly itself.
It must run 24 Hours / Day, 7 days a week for
extended periods. Gearboxes operate best in a cool clean environment, they should be separated
as far as possible for the hot dirty environment of the Pressing sections.
The Feed End of the Press is the cooler, lower pressure end of the Press
and therefore the best choice for the drive position.
A higher efficiency in the Gearbox will mean lower
operating temperatures, longer effective oil life and lower operating
costs.
