Euro Blue® II Excels in Price, Quality and Delivery
The high-performance, cost-competitive Euro Blue® II extruder from Davis-Standard, LLC has been well received by the European marketplace. Davis-Standard has seen a growing number of repeat customers and multiple installations throughout Europe since the machine’s introduction in 2007. According to Mark Woodgate, Business Director of DS Brookes Limited in the United Kingdom (Davis-Standard’s Extrusion Systems Division in Europe), there are many reasons for the popularity of this extruder model.
“The Euro Blue is unique because of its energy-efficient design, high specifications and fast delivery. Depending on location, in-stock machines can be delivered in as quickly as two to three working days,” said Woodgate. “This extruder has also helped our customers achieve quality, reliability and excellent processing rates at a reasonable cost. Demand has been very good.”
In its standard form, the Euro Blue II includes a double reduction gearbox with helical carburized gears, an integral high capacity thrust bearing, cast iron feed section, four-zone DS1000 bi-metallic barrel assembly with heated clamp arrangement, DSBM-T high performance barrier mixing feed screw, AC motor and drives, integrated control cabinet with four barrel and three die zones, digital speed and ammeters. It also comes with a two-year warranty and support from D-S Brookes’ technical and aftermarket services.
The Euro Blue II is engineered for custom profile and tubing applications, as well as basic wire and cable processes. The extruder range currently includes sizes of 50mm, 60mm, 75mm, 90mm and 115mm in 24:1 configurations. But, according to Woodgate, this could change very shortly.
“Should demand dictate, D-S Brookes will look to expand the Euro Blue range of extruder sizes. We have every confidence that this model will continue to be successful,” he said.
In addition to extruders, D-S Brookes offers a complete line of downstream equipment. For more information about the Euro Blue II, contact Mark Woodgate at mwoodgate@dsbrookes.com or at +44 (0) 7801 197751.
