Operating and servicing instructions 3 Safety instructions All work on the gearboxes is to be performed while paying special attention to the aspect of "health and safety". It is to be refrained from working in any way that endangers the safety of persons and the gearbox.
Operating and servicing instructions 4 Rating plate The rating plate on the Henschel Industrietechnik twin screw extruder gearbox includes key techni- cal data. Other data is to be found in the assembly drawings and any technical data sheets en- closed. Type Input speed (min Year of manufacture...
Operating and servicing instructions Transport The gearbox is packed to suit the type of transport such that it can be transported without damage. The gearbox is equipped with holes for ring bolts as per the installation drawing. Appropriate ring bolts are to be fitted such that they are tight against the bearing surface. On some models, special hooks for lifting tackle are fitted to the lower part of the housing.
Operating and servicing instructions • Oil drain and oil level gauge must be easily accessible. • The gearbox is to be protected from strong sunlight so avoid over-heating. • During transport, it is imperative that the instructions in section 5.2 are observed. •...
Operating and servicing instructions Shaft seals The shafts are sealed with single or double shaft seals. On certain types, labyrinth seals, special cassette seals or a combination of various systems can also be used. • The shaft seals must not come into contact with solvents or unsuitable cleaning agents, as this can result in leaks.
Operating and servicing instructions Input clutches Safety clutches are to be used for the gearbox input. The use of rigid couplings or other input ele- ments that can exert radial and/or axial forces must be agreed with Henschel Industrietechnik. The contractually assured type of input is to be found in the gearbox data sheet.
Operating and servicing instructions 7 Oil system The gearbox is to be connected to a suitable oil system. The necessary data are to be found in the gearbox data sheet in these operating and servicing instructions. Suction and pressure connections are fitted to the gearbox in the form of threaded holes.
Operating and servicing instructions • The oil capacity given on the gearbox rating plate is an approximate quantity. The gearbox is to be filled until the oil is at least up to the middle of the oil sight glass. • To ensure that the oil level is correct, after filling with lubricant the oil system is to be placed in operation for approx.
Operating and servicing instructions Monitoring the axial load The twin screw extruder gearboxes built by Henschel Industrietechnik can absorb high axial thrust loads on both output shafts. The maximum permissible thrusts and the thrust loads are to be found in the gearbox data sheet. Depending on the order, the gearbox can be supplied with axial force monitoring.
Operating and servicing instructions 11 Technical description 11.1 General description These operating and servicing instructions only apply to twin screw extruder gearboxes manufac- tured by Henschel Industrietechnik. The gearboxes described are spur gearboxes with one input shaft and two output shafts as marketed by Henschel Industrietechnik with the identifier TGE or T1MAX.
Operating and servicing instructions 12 Servicing and inspection Malfunctions that are caused by inadequate or improper maintenance can result in high repair costs and unnecessarily long gearbox down times. Regular servicing and inspection work are therefore imperative. All servicing and repair work is only allowed to be performed with the gearbox stationary and by trained, authorized and appropriately instructed personnel.
Operating and servicing instructions 12.2 Topping up the oil The oil level is to be checked regularly. It must never be below the bottom mark. In the case that the oil level drops below the minimum, it is imperative that the lubricant is topped up. The oil is only allowed to be topped up with the drive units shut down.
Operating and servicing instructions 12.4 Inspection To counteract damage on the gearbox, regular inspections should be performed. The after sales service department at Henschel Industrietechnik offers the following checks: • Checking the contact pattern on the individual teeth, • Checking whether there is any damage to the parts of the gears, e.g.: - Pittings and micro pittings on the tooth flanks (due to gearbox overloading) - Scratches and indentations (due to the action of dirt) - Fretting (due to inadequate lubrication or overload)
Operating and servicing instructions 13 Malfunctions – causes and rectification Regular servicing of the gearbox, as described in section 12, is imperative. It is only in this way that irregularities can be detected and more serious consequent damage avoided. If malfunctions occur during the warranty period and repair is necessary, the after sales service department at Henschel Industrietechnik is to be contacted.
Operating and servicing instructions 14 Lubricants The oil types and oil viscosity class stipulated by Henschel Industrietechnik can be found on the rating plate and the data sheet for the related gearbox. This information applies for the operating data given in the gearbox data sheet. If these data change, Henschel Industrietechnik in Kassel is to be consulted prior to commissioning.

Operating and servicing instructions 15 Spare parts Orders for spare parts must be made with the aid of the spare parts list below and the schematic spare parts drawing; the gearbox type and gearbox number must be stated with the order. The number of shafts in the base gearbox can vary depending on the transmission ratio.
