Gear Reducers - Used and Surplus Inventory | IPP

Shop used, surplus and secondhand gear reducers from IPP – in stock and compatible with industrial drive systems across sectors

Keep production moving with IPP’s ready-to-ship gear reducers for chemical, food, pharma and heavy industrial applications

Used gear reducers are mechanical power transmission components that reduce motor speed while increasing torque, enabling safe, efficient operation of industrial equipment like mixers, pumps, extruders and conveyors. From compact inline units to heavy-duty helical or worm gear systems, these devices are essential for precise speed control and long-term equipment reliability. With more than 47 years of expertise, IPP supplies used, secondhand and surplus gear reducers from 20 complete plant sites and maintains a vast inventory of 15,000+ systems ready for immediate shipment.

IPP stocks top brands including Falk, SEW-Eurodrive, Nord, Dodge, Rexnord and Flender, with reducer ratios, mounting styles and motor pairings to match most industrial needs.

Primary uses across industries

• In chemical and pharmaceutical plants, for regulating mixer and agitator speeds during sensitive reactions
• In food and beverage, for precision control in conveying, filling and batching applications
• In metals, plastics and mining, for torque-heavy drives in crushers, mills and extruders
• In general manufacturing, for speed matching in automated lines and heavy-duty mechanical systems

Types of materials processed (indirect)

While not processing materials directly, gear reducers control systems that move or mix:

• Liquids and slurries in reactors or tanks
• Bulk solids and powders via conveyors or feeders
• High-viscosity materials in blending and extrusion

Common materials of construction

Designed to withstand industrial loads, reducers are built with:

• Cast iron housings for strength and vibration resistance
• Hardened alloy steel gears for long service life under torque
• Sealed housings for dust, chemical or moisture resistance

Key features of industrial gear reducers

• Helical, bevel, worm and planetary configurations
• Foot-mounted, flange-mounted or shaft-mounted options
• Wide range of gear ratios for fine control
• Lubricated and sealed for low-maintenance operation
• Compatible with NEMA or IEC motor standards
