Learn more >>> As the world's number one producer of extruders and extrusion systems for plastics and rubber, our Polymer Processing Equipment unit rounds out our unmatched product line to serve the polymer industry. Customers who buy our polymers and polymer additives can also depend on Davis-Standard for the most advanced and productive machinery available for manufacturing their products. With a common customer base, Davis-Standard systems can be used to test new Crompton materials, allowing us to bring both equipment and polymer products to market faster and at lower cost than our competition. Our integrated extrusion systems, patented feedscrew technology, and advanced computer-based controls, are the impetus to produce rubber and plastic extruded forms for a wide range of everyday products in packaging, construction and automotive products. Recent advancements include our in-line systems that combine multiple technologies into one to allow our customers to reduce manufacturing steps and increase productivity, and our Woodtruder™ that combines current wood fiber processing and plastics extrusion technology. We continue to make advancements in feedscrew designs. We also introduced new technology for extruding foam such as styrene to expand future applications for the material. In addition to single- and twin-screw extrusion systems, Davis-Standard is a leading producer of industrial blow molding systems used to produce outdoor furniture and toys, and extrusion coating systems for flexible packaging. A lean manufacturing program has been implemented to free up capital and other resources while improving productivity. We continue to work with our customers to develop complete process solutions. To ensure quality, our assembly specialists, who have an intimate knowledge of our product, verify that each system is properly wired and tested before it leaves our plant, and then travel to our customer's site to reassemble and install the system. We have patents pending on several new product developments. We have introduced a new low-temperature gear extruder for elastomer processing that is showing significant reduction in scrap rates. We have made several advancements in solid and foam processing technology for the data communications cable industry. Introduced advanced composite extrusion systems for high-speed production of new wood fiber/plastic materials for the construction industry. Systems produce lumber products that are 40 percent polymer for longer life and ease of maintenance. Assisted in the development of the proprietary OrganoSilicones dry silane product for wire and cable and unique equipment-additive combination for PVC extrusion. Processes provide impressive improvements in productivity.
