“This design addresses profitability factors such as reduced raw material loss, improved outputs, and greater application development,” said Danis Roy, Davis-Standard VP – sales Films & Flexible Packaging. “The CHP is built for exceptional performance with improved transition times and significantly higher processing rates than conventional extruders. We’re excited about the results we’ll see in the field.”
Efficient mixing
The CHP is available in sizes ranging from 52mm to 100mm. Processors benefit from efficient mixing that delivers low pressure and melt temperature variability and output rates up to 80 to100 percent higher than current extruder options. In addition, a reduced residence time of 3:1 with a faster purge between resins and colours supports quick changeovers minimising raw material loss for bottom-line impact. Davis-Standard has a CHP extruder at its laboratory facility in Pawcatuck, for customers to run trials and validate processing opportunities prior to purchase.
