Joe Wnuk, Vice President of Davis-Standard Elastomer and Profile Systems, said: “After several months of adapting to the pandemic, we look forward to reconnecting with our customer base in Asia. Now more than ever, it’s important to look at best practices in terms of equipment performance, employee safety, innovative products and supply chain efficiencies. We are eager to work collaboratively with customers to develop and support solutions specific to the Asian marketplace.”
Davis-Standard engineers elastomer equipment for numerous applications. Elastomer-specific technology is designed for efficiency and performance, including the DSREV extruder and the company’s latest crosshead design, the Model 3000A crosshead for rubber hose applications. This crosshead helps reduce scrap and accelerate start-up times for smaller lots. The results in material savings, quick product changes, simplified maintenance and improved quality are significant. In addition, a hydraulic pump system is not needed and the compact design does not require hoses.
“One of the best features of this automatic design is the precision adjustment, which contributes to material savings due to tighter tolerances within specifications,” Wnuk added.
The DSREV extruder has a patented pneumatic roll feed system for a uniform and consistent feed rate, electric heating and water-cooling for quicker response times, and feedscrews that maximise output and minimise scorch. Using a gear pump, processors are able to isolate high pressure and achieve pressure stabilisation. Davis-Standard’s gear pump is equipped with a two-roll feeder (TRF) for cold feeding or to be used as a stand-alone device for fine mesh straining. Other advantages include improved filtration, reduced material retention time and a smaller footprint to integrate into existing lines.
This is all supported by Davis-Standard (Suzhou) Plastics Packaging Machinery, Co., Ltd., which is central to the company’s customer focus in Asia.
