Davis-Standard
Davis-Standard will highlight key equipment capabilities for extrusion coating, blown film, cast film, sheet extrusion and thermoforming, all engineered to support a range of applications on every continent. The US-based company will also have information on aftermarket and technical services focused on delivering cost-efficiency, reduced downtime and improved operation, including equipment upgrades, replacement parts, global field services, custom engineering, research and technical services, and a 24/7 customer service hotline.
Systems are engineered for everything from high-quality flexible packaging, thermal lamination and stand-up pouches, to lidding, tube, and aseptic films. Specifications can be customised based on market requirements and investment plans.
An example of this is Davis-Standard’s dsX flex-packTM system, which provides converters and package printers with a high-value, competitively-priced package. Production benefits include product consistency, improved bonding strength, greater uptime and productivity, and reduced waste and production costs.
In cast film, Davis-Standard offers a stretch film line that redefines modular efficiency for high-grade film operations. This technology is the new standard for stretch film line configurations.
In blown film, Davis-Standard supplies extrusion systems for applications in high-barrier food packaging, agricultural films, geomembrane, stretch film, printing and laminating films, flexible packaging, collation shrink films and stretch hooders.
In sheet extrusion, Davis-Standard supplies complete systems or components to support the packaging and industrial sectors. One recent development is the DS-Helibar extruder – the next generation in Davis-Standard’s groove feed extruder offering. With the Helibar design, helical grooves inside the barrel run along the entire barrel bore. This technology has shown to increase extruder output rates while improving energy efficiency and reducing barrel and screw wear. Other advantages include lower start-up costs, shorter residence time and the ability to process higher levels of regrind. This is especially beneficial for high-profile applications where speed, melt quality and efficiency are paramount.
