Davis-Standard: Introduction “Euro Blue” Extruder to European Market
A new extruder from Davis-Standard, the Euro Blue, has been engineered to meet the price, performance and availability requirements of the European marketplace. The CE-marked machine features an easily accessible and ergonomic design and offers processors a competitively priced option with fast delivery. Shipment is available as quickly as two weeks from the order date. The
Euro Blue is offered in 50mm, 65mm, 75mm and 90mm sizes, and is ideal for custom profile and tubing processes as well as basic wire and cable and film applications.
“The Euro Blue is based on the engineering of our widely accepted Super Blue™ extruder, but has been styled and equipped to meet the requirements of our European customers,” said Gerhard Folie, Davis-Standard business manager. “We wanted to build an extruder specific to Europe that provides the best value and availability for that market.”
Design advantages include a sloped front panel with full machine access; 400/3/50 voltage requirements; a low noise, high torque double-reduction gearbox; cast aluminum finned heaters bolted to the barrel to ensure barrel-to-heater contact; a brushless AC drive and motor; and a high capacity, highly efficient air cooling system. The Euro Blue is assembled on a rigid base with structural steel construction. It has a wear-resistant bimetallic barrel designed for 700 bar operating pressure with a removable barrel flange, rupture disc and pressure transducer behind the front flange for operator safety. A variety of feedscrew designs for different thermoplastic materials are available.
