Davis-Standard will showcase the company’s versatile converting technology and offer live demonstrations at its nearby ER-WE-PA Gmbh facility in Erkrath during drupa 2016, May 31-June 10, in Hall 12, booth E42. Davis-Standard has seen signficant growth in liquid coating applications as well as demand for cost-effective, high productivity processing systems. The company has addressed these markets with new liquid coating advances and an innovative line of dsX™ technology for extrusion coating, cast film and blown film applications. Davis-Standard’s European team will be available to discuss new developments at the show and welcome customers to the Erkrath facility.

In liquid coating, Davis-Standard developed a new curtain slide coater and five-roll silicone coater. Both technologies are capable of high rates and ease of maintenance. The curtain slide coater applies single layer coatings at rates up to 2800 fpm (853 mpm) with expansion capabilities up to two additional layers. The five-roll silicone coater is capable of applying 100 percent silicone at rates up to 2400 fpm (732 mpm). This coater is constructed of stainless steel for ease of cleanup and includes a mist removal system. Davis-Standard offers more than 50 liquid coating methods including gravure, rod, slot die, reverse roll and smooth roll transfer, supporting applications in tapes and labels, silicone-coated products and specialty coating markets.

Davis-Standard’s dsX™ line of extrusion coating, cast film and blown film equipment offers processors advantages in price, performance and delivery. Each system is engineered for greater up-time, increased productivity and reduced waste, and backed by Davis-Standard’s 24/7 global support network. The dsX flex-pack™ has been especially well-received worldwide, offering coverters and package printers a high-value option for expanding sales in the price-sensitive flexible packaging market. The flex-pack’s adaptable machine configuration gives processors the capabilities and flexibility needed to ramp up and compete effectively for a variety of rapidly emerging application opportunities. Examples of applications include salted snack and noodle bags, toothpaste tubes, sachet packs personal care products, condiment packs and stand-up pouches.
