DAVIS-STANDARD LLC’s new line of pre-engineered systems meets demand for high-value equipment for converting and medical applications. The company’s dsX (TM) series, which has been well received in India, offers cost-effective, high-productivity packages supported by regional engineering and service teams.
Davis-Standard will promote the series, which comprises the dsX flex-pack for extrusion coating, the dsX s-tretch (TM) for cast film, and the dsX med-tube (TM) for medical tubing, at PlastIndia 2015, which will run from February 5 to 10. The company’s booth at the German Pavilion, Hall 8-E13 will also exhibit its control systems, feedscrew developments, and aftermarket services during the event.
A pre-engineered solution for extrusion coating applications, the dsX flex-pack is ideal for cost-sensitive flexible packaging requiring fast and reliable production. It delivers consistently high product quality, greater uptime and productivity, reduced waste and production costs, and application versatility for new business development. Its adaptable machine configuration supports converters, printing companies, multinational companies, and start-ups.
The dsX s-tretch is the first cast film line of its kind. Designed to offer a reliable alternative to pre-stretching techniques traditionally done off-line or on blown film lines, the dsX s-tretch uses integrated technology to eliminate the need for traditional pre-stretching methods. This yields thinner films, higher line speeds, and improved film strength.
The dsX s-tretch features coreless winding and smaller footprint with its two-meter design. Its competitive pricing enables a fast return on investment. The system is available within six months of order to acceptance.
The ultra-compact dsX med-tube adopts Davis-Standard’s widely used medical tubing systems. Optimized for value and versatility, its smaller footprint suits clean rooms. It features a language-specific control system and a unique co-extruder arrangement for processing materials such as polypropylene (PP) and fluorinated ethylene polypropylene (FEP) through a simple feedscrew change. It has options for single lumen, multi-lumen, IV catheter, corrugated drainage, integrated bump tubing, and multi-layer tubing.
