The extruder is equipped with an EPIC III ® control system that fea- tures a streamlined console, high-data transmission rate and improved graphics. It is also engineered with smart extruder technology for preventative maintenan- ce monitoring of vibration, oil compositi- on, motor parameters, heater status, screw wear algorithm and energy con- sumption. Other advantages include a high wear-resistant barrel and feedscrew, an integrated melt pump with controls, static mixer and an optimized mezzanine n To further advance mechanical, con- trols and process development initiatives, a next generation Thermatic ® Series 4.5- inch (114mm) extruder is available for trials at Davis-Standard’s Extrusion Tech- nology Development Center in Pawca- tuck, Connecticut. The extruder, installed in July, is being used for internal R&D and product development for customers. The extruder’s modern platform repre- sents a collaborative effort among Davis- Standard’s mechanical, electrical, process and controls engineering departments to create optimal processing for Davis-Stan- dard’s full portfolio of extruder applicati- ons from blown film to wire and cable. It features enhancements across the board and provides multiple possibilities with L/D ratios of 24, 30 and 34:1. According to John Christiano, Davis-Standard’s Vice President of Technology, this extruder epitomizes processing functionality and the future of extrusion efficiency. “This new extruder platform is a reflecti- on of experience and collaboration. Be- cause of its relevance across all extrusion applications, it will serve as an excellent platform to support our customer’s ex- trusion needs now and for many years to come,” said Christiano. Features of the new Thermatic include 400 HP water-cooled motor technology, a screw speed range up to 375 rpm, ad- vanced and conventional vent diverter geometry, an improved barrel cooling system and next generation gearbox New Development Extruder installed design. The extruder can be fit with the com- plete line of Davis-Standard DSB ® feeds- crews including the DSB I, DSB II, DSB III and DSB III-Plus designs as well as the TS DSBM, TS Metering and TS DS-Blend, in addition to a variety of metering screws and other specialized designs.

Java ist das wirschaftli- che Zentrum von Indonesien und ist Teil des Plans der indonesischen Regierung, das Land bis zum Jahr 2025 zu einem der zehn größten Wirtschaftsländer der Welt zu machen. Im Allgemeinen hat Asien als Büro in Indonesien Richtung weiterer Internationalisierung. Während unserer laufenden Projekte realisierten wir, dass, wenn wir den asia- tischen Markt noch besser bedienen wollen, wir ein Büro in Indonesien benö- tigen.” Dinnissen erwartet mit der Ein- richtung des Büros für den asiatischen Markt, noch besser auf marktspezifische Fragestellungen eingehen zu können.
