technology. 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

Standorten in den Niederlanden und
Deutschland, hat vor Kurzem ein Büro in
Indonesien eröffnet, in der Nähe von
Jakarta auf Java. 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-

richtung des Büros für den asiatischen
Markt, noch besser auf marktspezifische
Fragestellungen eingehen zu können.
