Along with equipment developments, Davis-Standard will highlight its extended product line capabilities due to the addition of Maillefer and Gloucester Engineering Company, now part of the Davis-Standard family.
“NPE is always an exciting event in terms of industry trends, new product demonstrations, machinery and technology developments,” said Jim Murphy, Davis-Standard President and CEO. “Davis-Standard has significantly expanded in terms of global reach and product offering since the last NPE. This year is poised to be strong for capital equipment investment and we look forward to a productive show.”
Davis-Standard will be showcasing its aftermarket capabilities, promoting global field services along with its extensive offering of feedscrews, spare parts, and rebuilds for controls, gearboxes and extruders. This includes technology drive upgrades for processors looking to boost their existing line with new screw design technology, controls technology and consulting services.
Also on display, there will be a operational TPE tubing line. This high-speed line will feature Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or Industry 4.0 capability to provide real-time data to help operators and managers optimise their line operation and avoid unplanned downtime. Visitors will be able to witness this technology live at the show.
Two HPE-A extruders will be on display to show how replacing the extruder barrel, feedsection, feedscrew and/or breaker plate can improve extruder efficiency, as well as a next generation groove feed extruder, showcasing the Helibar barrel and feedscrew technology for high outputs and excellent melt quality.
Davis-Standard will also exhibit upgrades to its EPIC III control system, as well as its next generation DS-eTPC II touch-screen controller; and a spiral feedscrew design, engineered for groove feed applications will demonstrate higher regrind levels, improved pressure stability, a wider range of polymers, lower pressure and better energy efficiency.
Visitors will be able to learn more about Davis-Standard’s recently completed in-house machining center for blown-film applications, which is home to innovative designs that deliver high outputs and reliable gauge control.
In addition, delegates can enquire about the production advantages offered by Maillefer, the latest addition to Davis-Standard’s equipment line, which will be exhibited with a DUFD irrigation line driller and ECH extrusion head.
