Davis-Standard launches SHO extruder

Davis-Standard has introduced the latest in the company’s groove feed innovation with the launch of its SHO extruder. 

Equipped to save space while offering outputs up to 20% higher than existing groove feed models, the SHO is engineered with an optimised feed section and high-performance, energy efficient DSB barrier screw. This is beneficial for high-viscosity HDPE applications such as pipe extrusion, where lower melt temperatures, reduced power consumption and improved energy efficiency are paramount. 

John Christiano, VP technology, said: “Improving energy efficiency equates to tangible savings for your operation while reducing your carbon footprint. The SHO builds upon our existing groove feed technology with a more streamlined, compact footprint and even greater performance in terms of output and energy savings.”

The SHO features Davis-Standard’s next-generation gearcase to optimise production space along with a streamlined hopper, low-profile power panel, rugged base, and all components fully enclosed. Advantages include improvements in output, output consistency, melt quality, reduced purging/changeover time, and energy efficiency.
