Polyhose: Purchase of Additional Davis-Standard Extruders
Polyhose India Pvt. Ltd. recently purchased three 2.5-inch (65mm) Euro Blue extruders and one 90mm rubber extruder from Davis-Standard, LLC to support its growing hose manufacturing operation. Polyhose, based in Chennai, India, will use the machines to support additional capacity at its two newly completed factories, one for plastic hose and one for rubber hose. The company manufactures in excess of 12 million meters (39.4 million feet) of thermoplastic, industrial and PVC hose annually. This includes hydraulic hose, airless paint spray hose, high pressure jack hose, fire reel hose, spiral thermoplastic hose, polyurethane hose, PTFE hose and others.
Polyhose presently makes all of its plastic hoses including those with nylon, PP, PUR and PTFE on a 2.5-inch (65mm) Davis-Standard Mark extrusion system with a 30mm co-extruder. The new Euro Blue extruders will be used for manufacturing F-PVC garden hose. The company’s current rubber plant operates 120mm and 90mm Davis-Standard rubber extruders with venting capabilities for processing hydraulic pressure rubber hose. The new 90mm rubber extruder will help augment this operation, including the production of higher I.D hose and spiral hose beginning this year.
The company has one of the most modern manufacturing facilities in all of Southeast Asia, and one of most developed networks of dealers and OEM assemblers. Polyhose products are sold throughout Europe, Asia and North America.
