avis-Standard’s regional presence has continued to grow

since opening a subsidiary in Suzhou two years ago. This

facility is Davis-Standard’s manufacturing base in China and

houses an R&D laboratory for process development and trials.

Davis-Standard will also promote the expansion of its film tech-

nology and aftermarket services with the recent acquisition of

Gloucester Engineering.

“With strong demand in Asia and continued expansion at our

Suzhou facility, we anticipate a very busy Chinaplas show,” said

Sekaran Murugaiah, Davis-Standard Vice President of Business

Development, Asia. “Customers appreciate our regional pre-

sence and the availability of the medical tubing laboratory in

Suzhou to test new resins and processes. The addition of Glou-

cester is especially exciting for our film customers because we

are able to offer the largest installed base of film technology

and aftermarket services under one roof.”

The medical tubing sector is one of Davis-Standard’s strongest

markets in China. The lab in Suzhou has been instrumental in

supporting customers in this segment. The lab features direct-

drive 19mm and 24mm single screw extruders, each with a po-

lymer melt pump, a sophisticated three-layer spiral flow tubing

die, PLC line control with data acquisition, precision vacuum

sizing tank for both rigid and flexible products, closed loop

ID/OD control via an ultrasonic gauging system, a servo con-

trolled combination puller/cutting system, and a transport con-

veyer with single-zone air eject. It also includes a single layer

tubing line designed specifically for the production of FPVC

tubing for IV & fluid delivery applications. Products ranging in

size from 2mm OD to 10mm OD can be produced with an ac-

curacy of +/- 50u at line speeds up to 100mpm. Davis-

Standard’s facility in Pawcatuck, Connecticut, also has a fully

equipped medical tubing laboratory.

Both labs support applications for alternate polymer, microbore

tubing, multi-lumen and catheter tubing, edotracheal and tra-

cheotomy tubing, radio opaque tubing, bubble tube, taper

tube, pipette tubing and multi-layer tubing, among others.

Turnkey medical tubing systems support extruder outputs up to

700 pounds per hour (315kg/hr) and line speeds up to 800 feet

per minute (240 mpm) for a range of materials including PLA,

PLLA, PEEK, FPVC, polyurethane, nylon, PEBAX and FEP. Extru-

der options are available depending on process and application

and engineered for a fast delivery and competitive pricing.

Another area of strength has been the sale of Davis-Standard’s

dsX™ machines. These have been well received throughout

Asia due to a competitive advantage in price, performance and

delivery. Davis-Standard offers these machines for cast film,

blown film and extrusion coating applications. Demand has

been especially strong for the dsX flex-pack™ (extrusion

coating) due to continued demand for flexible packaging appli-

cations. This machine is built for cost-sensitive flexible pakkag-

ing applications where fast and reliable production is essential.

从两年前在苏州开设子公司以来,戴维斯标准在这一区

域的业务有了持续的增长。这家子公司包括了戴维斯标准在

中国的制造基地和用于工艺开发及培训的研发实验室。最

近,戴维斯标准收购了Gloucester工程公司,这将有利于促

进薄膜技术的发展和售后服务。

戴维斯标准亚洲商务发展副总裁Sekaran Murugaiah 说

道:“由于亚洲市场强劲的需求以及我们在苏州的工厂的继续

扩展,预料我们在中国国际橡塑展期间会非常繁忙。客户很

欣赏我们在这一地区的本地化活动以及在苏州的医用导管实

验室,这个实验室提供了测试新的树脂和工艺的可能性。对

于我们的薄膜行业客户来说 ,Gloucester 的加盟是特别令人

兴奋的,因为我们可以向客户提供薄膜技术方面最大的牢固

基地并在同一个屋顶下提供售后服务。”

医用导管领域是戴维斯标准在中国最强壮的市场之一。

位于苏州公司的实验室也一直在这一领域帮助和支持客户。

实验生产线采用直接驱动的19mm和24mm单螺杆挤出机,每

台挤出机都配备了融体泵,模头为精致的三层螺旋流道管模

头。生产线采用PLC控制,带有数据采集功能,精密真空定

型槽适合于生产硬管和软管两种产品,通过超声波测量系统

对内径和外径进行闭环控制,伺服控制的牵引/切断组合系

统,以及带有单区气动卸料的产品输送机。实验室还配备了

特别设计用于生产静脉输液的FPVC(软质聚氯乙烯)单层导

管生产线,可生产产品的尺寸范围为外径2mm到10mm,当

生产线速度高达每分钟100米时,精度可达+/- 50u。戴维斯标

准位于康涅狄格州Pawcatuck的工厂同样配备了医用导管实

验室的全套装备。

两家实验室都能够支持采用各种不同的高分子材料生产

医用导管,尤其是微内径导管、多腔导管、气管及气管切开

管、不透射线管、气泡管、锥型管、移液管和多层管。可提

供交钥匙医用导管生产系统,挤出机产量可高达每小时700磅

(315千克 /小时 ),生产线速度高达每分钟 800英尺 (240

米/分),原料适用范围包括聚乳酸(PLA),左旋聚乳酸

(PLLA), 聚醚醚酮(PEEK), 软质聚氯乙烯(FPVC), 聚

氨酯p(polyurethane), 尼龙(nylon), 尼龙弹性体(PE-

BAX) 和全氟聚合物(FEP)。根据不同的加工工艺和应用

场合,有不同的挤出机选项可供挑选,针对快速交货进行了

设计,价格具有竞争力。

戴维斯标准公司另一类强有力的产品是dsX™设备。这

些设备在整个亚洲都受到热烈的欢迎,这是因为在价格、性

能和交货期方面都具备了竞争优势。戴维斯标准公司提供流

延膜、吹膜和挤出涂覆应用方面的设备。由于市场对软包装

的应用有着持续的需求,对于 dsX flex-pack™挤出涂覆设备

的需求已经表现得特别强劲。那些生产成本敏感的软包装产

品的客户,认为设备能够快速而可靠地运行是至关重要的,

而dsX 设备就是专门为这类客户建造的。
