DAVIS-STANDARD, LLC

THERMATIC-E2™ EXTRUDER
OVERVIEW FEATURES
Davis-Standard, LLC offers a complete range of energy efficient ‚‚ No gear oils
extruders. The Direct Drive System is based on a Permanent ‚‚ Energy efficient
Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), technology that offers
several advantages over conventional extruder drive and motor ‚‚ Quiet Operation
gear reducer systems. ‚‚ Small footprint
‚‚ Low maintenance
The Direct Drive System eliminates the gear reducer, simplifying
the extruder mechanical design. These motors provide very high ‚‚ Medical clean room friendly
torque densities compared to conventional AC and DC motors ‚‚ Available sizes: 0.75-inch (20mm) – 5-inch (130mm)
and produce high levels of torque at low operating speeds. diameter extruders
