A drive for a two-worm extruder has a housing, an electric motor secured to the housing and having a motor output rotatable about a motor axis therein, and a planetary gear transmission in the housing including a sun gear, a ring gear coaxially surrounding the sun gear, and a driven planet gear in mesh between the sun and ring gear. A first output shaft extends axially through the planetary transmission within the ring gear and has an outer end adapted to be secured to one of the worms of the extruder. A second output shaft carried on the sun gear has an outer end adjacent that of the first output shaft and is adapted to be secured to the other worm of the extruder. A force-splitter includes a continuous-mesh gear train connected to the first shaft, to the planet gear, and to the motor output for driving the first shaft and the planet gear from the motor output. At least two further idling planet gears are journaled in the housing and each in mesh between the sun gear and the ring gear. The planet gears are angularly equispaced about the sun gear.
